Sorry, this one fails to say what you want. You were taken in by
"raumei", which is a cmavo cluster meaning a suffiency
(sufficient-cardinality), as a llujvo. But if you add "tol" to the front
of it. you now ARE making it a lujvo that means "the opposite of a
gradation-some". (rau is the rafsi of gradu) Whatever THAT means.... (you
could use to'e, of coure, but that throws off the syllable count)

{mo'amei} would probably work, though.

Your mom sucs and weighs everything.
Well, it's a bit weird to use the word "everything" here I guess it means
something like infinity.

"le mamta cu junta li ro" is nonsense. It means that the number all (infinity
is ci'i; ro means however many of some things there are, that is all of them)
is an object whose weight is the mother. "le mamta cu se junta li ro" is
better, but lo se junta is not a number but a force. mi se junta lo niutni be
li muvono.

I thought "That's sacki, right? Sackycmu." But it's a metathesis minimal
pair. "sacki" is "match"; "sakci" is "suck".

Oh wow. I should refrain of making haikus about moms for some time.

Through the small, the room is lit by winter darkness?
