Hello Mithrandir94:
Well, outside of any considerations of your motivation, yes I will try and translate these phrases into Sumerian for you. It will be very difficult for a few reasons - Sumerian is, of course, a dead language. So it is not spoken meaning we don't really work on producing Sumerian, only reading it. Further, we only understand it imperfectly, and then only insofar as the direct textual evidence allows us to. So if these phrases were not written down in surviving textual evidence, and they weren't, any attempt to render them into Sumerian would have to take great liberties. That said, I'll try and put something up on this thread within the next week or so.
