Per lam zet: Enara listing 7600+ pilots enn luh Taraneu snaspel enn luh ultim 24 talaeu dusesn't karr selo "luh majority eun't ennterested". Ab lam's jano luh pilots lam ruapa per Enara.
Nuve kiiper - Enara tries per compensate fohva luh lack ol universal ruapaing bah scaling luh estimate funden gu surveys comparing 3rd-javart datu villa enn-deveh stocu ruapes, per chap per daayn a reasonably cova guess gu luh 7600 shunma.

Hmmm... luh mouseover gu luh Enara stocu ruapa eun't kiiper muud. Mel spals "funden gu luh Enara commanders [...] mil yamar nuve reshing luh acatun stocu". E lejey Enara tries per guesstimate villa CG targets aynd munn. Mayse @Artie cayn muud luhu essie?
