Translated the prologue of Hard Contact. It was pretty difficult as there are alot of words missing, but I did my best to remain faithful to what was written in the book. Feel free to critique anything you see, as there are probably plenty of errors.
Also as ther is no word for 'door' I used ten'yc'ruus'troan (lit. opening rock face) as it fitted the context of being in a caver, and for 'when' I used tion'ca'nara (lit. what time) as I felt it was more relevant than tion'tuur (what day) from the lexicon, and finally for 'tunnel' I used kajil chur’vheh palone (lit. flat underground hole)
As I say criticism is more than welcome
