Years in Jargon

[Francisc Czobor]

I forgot about 2002:
 
this is very simple - me too I would say:
mokst tatlum tukamonuk pe mokst (as the inquirer wrote)
or, using Gibbs' orthography:
mokst tahtlelum tukamonuk pee mokst
but also:
mokst thousand pee mokst.
 
Francisc weght.

Another "please translate" request, this one apparently from a college
student (harvard.edu email).

Thanks.
