Welcome to me deciphering Hilichurlian (I think that's what the language is) and I'm doing it faster than Ella Musk

I noticed that everyone was freaking out over what Kaeya said to Venti in the poem he wrote. It says "'Mi muhe ye' means 'I love you' in hilichurl" but if we look at the Hilichurls ballad ,it is a war cry. Basing different sentences off one another I picked up a few things (I'm learning this quicker than French)

⚠️Spoilers Over⚠️

Yo/Mi- You
Ye- I/We
Dada- Glory/Good
Biat- Strike/Hit
Muhe- Victory/Triumph
Zido- Kill
Dala- What (?)
Ya- Human
Aba- (possibly) Want

Going based off of what this means, if we look at the Poetry Exchange we can start deciphering what each phrase means

-Celi dada, mimi nunu!
"___ glory/good, ___ (greeting)"
Going based off of what I've figured out so far, the end of the sentence is actually the beginning, so you would give you greeting and state how it's a glorious day, or something along those lines. (Can you tell I'm going insane yet?)

Muhe ye!
"I'm triumphant!" From what I can tell, their language is very basic and does not involve be-ing verbs or articles of any kind. So it loosely says "I triumph/victory"

Ye dada!
"We're glorious/good" Based on how this sentence was supposed to convey praise, I figured that "ye" could refer to not only yourself, but you with others (we).

Nini zido!
"Kill ___" Seems to mean something along the lines of "I'm going to kill you" based off the fact that it's seen as incredibly threatening

I've also deciphered the first verses of the hilichurls ballad

Mi muhe ye (I triumph over you)
Mi biat ye (I strike you)
Biat ye dada (Glory, I strike)
Muhe dada (Glory is triumphant)

Quick Note: From what I can tell, their language does not use certain verbs (be and do+ their variations) and does not use adverbs at all, so the translations can vary.

Anyways, I'll be updating this as I discover other phrases and meanings. It has been a mind numbing experience, good day/night
