Kryptonian Alphabet

Were you as shocked as I was to see Superwoman speaking fluent Kryptonese in the last issue? Sort of eliminated Linda, Lana, and Cat Grant as candidates for being under the cowl.
We're you also like me in wondering just what the heck it was she said?

For the record, she said "I don’t mean to bother you but with everything that’s happened in Kandor you look like you could use a friend right now."
No clues there!

Anyways, I was able to translate because a Kryptonian alphabet key was put in the back of the Superman/Batman Supergirl trade paperback.

On re-reading that trade, I was fairly impressed at how much of the first issue is in Kryptonese. When I bought the individual issues, I had no translator and so didn't know exactly what was said.

Anyways, just in case the 'all in one' scan above isn't big enough, here is the alphabet split in 2.



So now you all can understand exactly what the Kryptonians are saying to each other. For starters, how about this important panel?
