:So, reading Faux' words, I couldn't help but try analysing them...

Tu is indeed correct in this case. More idiomatic phrasing: ''Meleekaa palgakaatust!'' (Come-pl take-pl-me-and). The correct "May thy houses burn down" would be ''tausainikä ruusiestinän'' as 3pl is ''-nän''. The final sentence is almost correct though, besides the {{sc|2pl}} on both the verb and possessed noun, and some oddities in the formation of the optative (use the stem, not infinitive). I'd use ''Magaestinän koerinikä aegastin.'' for "May thy friends eat needles". IL is wrong though, Valian is predominantly SVO (with optional VSO sometimes) so it could not be "may needles devour friends" in any case.
