This poses a few challenges without a close translation for "banana". Really the closest word would be kip 'food'. You can do a some stretching if you want with something like yuvon-lingrahkip 'golden long-food', but that's pretty clumsy. Ultimately, I see "Banana" as a non sequitor (you typically don't call bananas), so you could potentially replace that with an equally silly word. I suppose kip is silly in that regard.

In any case, I'd translate this as something like PRUZ1N PEL KIP "best (to) summon food."

This would be written as:

RUZ1N PEL KIP
