Translation challenge 1/100

Unfortunately I will be on holiday from April 29 to May 6 without internet connection, and I can't really work on the torch outside of weekends, so I certainly won't be able to both translate the Xooch text to English and Aayin on time. Because of that I have to drop from the relay and the torch can...

Torch received.

I'll join with Ááyin.

Been revising the Chhuowòta orthography again… The high vowels are now /i ɯ u/ ı u ou (yes the dotted i’s got on my nerves in the end). And since I now have ı , I had to get rid of j , so now /d͡ʒ/ is z , which is daring to say the least, for me at least. We’ll see if it lasts. Why not use ȷ ?
