I can't quite read what your new icon is saying. It looks kind of like a mirror-reversed "Want-I-quality-0" but I'm not entirely sure.

Never mind.

A slightly deeper search of the morpheme dictionary, and I think I get it.

Re: Never mind.

You can confirm your answer at this post (http://rikchik.livejournal.com/9475.html). Though the similarity to Want is kind of interesting.

this is the first thing i've read in rikchik! here's my translation:

b: something i wrote
b: you'll like it
a: this has nothing
b: nothing has that!

did i grok? <3

Very close. Nice job!

a: Human-R-Agent-0 What-T-Patient-0 Have-V-End-2 "What do you have?" "Human" is used to mean "somebody" which implies "you". (Rikchik has no direct word for "you".)

b: Me-I-Quality-0 Span-I-Includes-1 Word-I-End-1 "The words for this time." The "I" aspect of "Me" means "now".

b: Word-T-Source-0P Happy-V-End-1 "Those words cause happiness."

a: Book-V-Patient-0 Zero-M-Quality-0 Have-V-End-2 "Can't read." The "V" aspect of "Book" means "read". Having a verb is a Rikchik idiom meaning "can" as in "to be able to". Since Book is the patient, it's being "had".

b: Zero-R-Agent-0 Book-V-Patient-0P Have-V-End-2 "Nobody can read." With the "R" aspect, "Zero" means "Nobody".

The translation I supplied to the artist:

1. L: Whatcha got
  R: Today's script
2. R: It's a humdinger
3.
4. L: Can't read it
  R: Nobody can
