The pronoun suffixed to the last word _kullik(a)_ is incorrect, it should be
in the plural _kullikum_ (I won't even try to write this in Unicode, Ron
seems to be a wizard at producing text in unusual languages). If you write
_'ala kullik(a)_ it would imply 'on every part of you (singular)'. Sorry to
be so pedantic!

But I meant that too, of course, "all of you" in every sense.  ;-)

Yeah, really ...  ;-)

I beg your pardon ... "Unusual"?!   I won't start being "pedantic" on you
though ...  ;-)
