[Future Spoilers] S4 speculation on the phrase "We Will Rise" - any Trig speakers available?

Future Spoilers

Hi guys

I was debating whether to post this or not because I sort of don't want to know but also I can't stop thinking about it.

Anyway, in David J Peterson's recent interview that he did with Hypable he mentions that he will not translate the phrase "We Will Rise" into Trigedasleng due to spoilers.

I was wondering if any Trig speakers had an idea of what it might be? I am under the understanding that Octavia's Skairippa was translated as "death from above," is that correct? I don't know where I saw it though. (Edit: actually, was that just in the trailer? Roan said it, right?) Anyway, basically, I'm wondering if Skai can mean both sky and above/rising etc, and if the phrase "We Will Rise" might end up being something along the lines of "into the sky" or "going to the sky"? Only... in Trig, of course.

You can probably see where I'm going with this and what it might indicate about possible solutions to the nuclear apocalypse problems. I didn't know if any of us had discussed this speculation yet, it wasn't under the Hypable article, and I'm not great with all the Trigedasleng stuff so I thought I'd ask!
