"'Halt, human!'
"It must have been the only Anglic phrase any of the three invaders knew." (p. 76)
This could initiate a collection of alien invader phrases. See here for a discussion of "Resistance is useless" and "Resistance is futile."
"Ex-ter-min-ate!" (The Daleks.)
I think that I have read "Die, human filth!" somewhere.
I am sure that there are more.
However, neither Aycharaych nor the Merseians speak in cliches.

Kaor, Paul!
Well, cliches are cliches because they usually have a germ of truth in them. I would not expect most ordinary Ardazirho soldiers to know more than a few Anglic words or phrases as yet. Just enough to minimally get by.
