EV> What does:

 AA>> Daudz baltu dieni.u, Laimi.a dodi, Di.eni ra.eni, Dz.vojoti!

EV> mean in English? Thanks.


Whoops.  I shouldn't have used that one in this echo.  Some of the special
8-bit chars did not show up properly to make sense of it.

But it is basically a line from a Latvian (my heritage) folk song that has
since become the tradition to sing on a birthday.

General meaning: May many blessed days of fortune be granted to you,
enthusiastically and abundantly for your life.

The 7-bit version of the tagline *could* have been:

Daudz baltu dieniNu, LaimiNa dodi, DiZeni raZeni, DzIvojoti!,or

Daudz baltu dienin'u, Laimin'a dodi, Diz'eni raz'eni, Dzi'vojoti!,or


...the ALT-code version,

Daudz baltu dieni[ALT 0326]u
Laimi[ALT 0326]a dodi
Di[ALT 0158]eni ra[ALT 0158]eni
Dz[ALT 0299]vojoti!


And now you have tonnes of blessings to cover several birthdays as a result of
this exercise! LOL
