Dear Ian,

Since I am French I could tell you exactly what it means but I am not sure
if you spelled the first word correctly : « taviv» ? Could you check the
spelling or write it in lower cases so that I have a better idea? ... The
second part is easier: tu tires- it's eiher « you shoot », or « you pull ».
