language construction
Mar. 26th, 2005 12:58 amAlso known as procrastination. This takes as long as writing an entire scene:
"Yaraia in fel Rien. Kem sa-fel kem sa-Dhejh, avi sa-fel avi sa-Dhejh, thia sa-fel thia sa-Dhejh, mur asa mur sa-Dhejh, lien asa lien sa-Dhejh. Pel lier van fel nara-bel, thesir Dejh melim sa-Dhejh fel van isan sa-Dejh deza sa-fel viv van zethial sa-Dejh vi-seth sa-fel. Shai fev-jhedaka or-bel sa-emiril sa-fel najin, Shy fev-jhedaka or-bel sa-fel, fev-jhedaka or-bel sa-meh-sien sa-fel arajin, ma lier dai vilarajin viv dai vinajin."
"I awaken to the Path: My eyes thy eyes, my arms thy arms, my mind thy mind; blood of thy blood and will of thy will. As I move through this day, let me know thy word on my tongue and thy purpose in my actions. As it was for all my ancestors, as it is for all my days, as it shall be for all my descendants, one dance without beginning and without end."
The Willworkers are background. Not that I didn't figure out a lot of useful things about their descendants in the course of translating the one morning prayer.
One of the things I've figured out is that there are easier ways of finding out whether you misspelled "descendant" than by spell-checking a post written largely in a language you made up.
