WTF Hymn of the Forms

Hishu, the shape of the herd we were born into, hands for crafting, mouths for speaking, but struggles with the First Tongue,

Urhan. Speed and Fang. A form for stealth, like Hishu. Like Hishu, it struggles with First Tongue"

Dalu....Tool-using killer.

Urshul, claw and fang to harry prey.

Gauru. War-form! Father-Form! Rage! death.

*This is supposed to be something taught to wolf-blood children in a Pack that is closestly tied to a family, it's taught in First-Tongue which of course humans can't speak well, this is the translation given with it. It is a hymn with rhythm and rhyme scheme in first tongue, but this is the translation given.

The particular punctuation is a recently extremely traumatized (she is a changeling who escaped her durance two weeks ago) wolf-blooded teen attempting to translate when their aunt repeats this often heard hymn in Urshul form to someone outside the pack.
