This calls to mind something Fernehalwes said about the Ramuh battle lyrics in Old High Sylphic:
If you follow the link and read his breakdown of the lyrics there, some of the lines really don't match up after localizing and re-poeticizing them, so without a clue or something from Fern, we may be grasping at straws.
Of course, all that just makes it even more fun, and far be it from me, amateur linguist that I am, to discourage anyone.
So do carry on.
