I'm trying to see if I can translate the sentence "Truth prevails in everything" I got so far as "vahzen (prevails) ko pah" but I'm having some difficulty because there's no word for prevails exactly. I was looking in a thesaurous for some other words to use. I know it means dominate, or control, so I found those words in dragon, but I'm wondering what would be best to do here. my language skills in general have never been very strong. I know some people here have invented words, but that's way over my head right now :P

Other ways you might be able to say it is: "Truth conquers all", "Vahzen kron pah", or "Truth triumphs (over) all", "Vahzen zind pah".  Both of these stay within canon.
