Well, it can be "No Tich'im sa b'adalo" as well.

Just like you, I don't know.

The accents that you can clearly see above A and I
in the Stolfi's copy of the text impress me a lot.
Though I'm not a native speaker, it seems to me
the correct way to write these words in Czech.

I doubt anyone can _prove_ anything about VMs
without presenting its full and coherent translation.
Until this time we have to make guesses,
hoping that they lead us in the right direction.
That's why I was asking someone who lives closer
to a decent library than I do
to check the Tichys in the "Ottuv slovnik naucny".

Best wishes to all,
  Marcin
