Breaking down a sentence

DAY 18: Translation

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light.

This is a quote from a Sherlock Holmes story which I do not recognize but I love it so I'm using it.

Grammatical breakdown:

[it](nom) (dub)[is](pres) [that] [you](??) (neg)(sub?)[is](pres) [yourself](mod)[luminous](acc)
[but]-[that] [you](??) (sub?)[is](pres) [conductor](gen)[light](acc)

(English is the worst, FYI.)

Reorganizing to the right order and replacing vocab/attaches I already have:

khese[is]ao thyfha osha keut(??) (neg)iry[is]ao [yourself]itsa[luminous]sha outosha iry[is]ao [conductor]fa[light]sha

Just for kicks, replacing the unknown vocab with Xs to make it look more like words:

khesexxao thyfha osha keutxx xxiryxxao xxxxxitsaxxxxxsha outosha iryxxao xxxxxfaxxxxsha

Nyargh. Since I missed yesterday, today I'm ALSO going to make a list of all the vocab still required and fill in the missing grammatical things.

Vocab:
yourself
luminous
"is" (being used as an equative verb assigning a descriptor to a noun)
conductor (thing which allows the flow of something through itself)
light (the shining kind)

In addition, I need a "negative" prefix, probably derived from/related to the word for "no". I also need to decide what case the object-phrase (is that called a predicate phrase?) "subject" gets.

So "no" is, I think, "abu", and I'm gonna make the negative prefix "bou".

Now then, "yourself". Your self, the self which belongs to you. Now, how would they do this... It functions as a recursive reference to the pronoun, so it definitely has the pronoun in it, which in this case is 'keut'. It gets a modifier attached to it to give it the recursive meaning, which in English is "self" and means, basically, an individual entity...

Maybe evolved from the same root as the -ary suffix? So like... ele. I like that.

yourself: elekeut
himself: eletho
herself: eletso
itself: elethyf

And I just realized I managed to completely overlook the pronoun "I". Uuugh.

I: hy
myself: elehy
