Ba dalkai

I actually sat down the other night and traced out Sandic letters into Gimp and made a transparency of them.  I can write in Sandic itself now, with a little bit of effort on my part!  It makes me happy beyond belief.

I'm having to adapt the the more rigid character of the "print" characters after having only seem handwriting for the last ten years. :p

Still, when I printed something in it yesterday, I couldn't contain my excitement.  I ended up dancing in place and then immediately running out to stick it on my car.  Bahaha.

Anyway, below is "The creative adult is the child that survived." ("Ba dalkai ohii ka baahl iat aan ma ba gezo kaahl, iat bajjew.")

wwee bal aan fele: miialabin ytesu, How can I find words

Hey guys.  I translated a new prayer, which can be seen below. 

Also, I've decided that I'll put the voice blogs over into my dedicated personal sandic-language blog so that they won't flood the aggregator. I added a link to it on the side bar, too, under "miscellany". -------->

This prayer is from Ceiswr Serith, from his book "A Book of Pagan Prayer".

How can I find words

which will show the reality of You?

I am too small to try.

But how many are those who, before this attempt of mine,

were audacious enough to speak honor to you in their new way of speech?

If I could find a group of words 

to speak perfectly of the sunset,

or of the wings of a bird,

or a sound for the clouds,

I would be happy until the end.

But these miracles of Yours are so great that my attempts

these very small ones

which can never say enough,

that I can only dream,

hope,

that they reflect a small portion of You.

Ekay saw Sira turn from an owl into a human (one of her magical powers). He said to her "How do you do this?" And she said "I just look at the north wind and hear the snow fall, and then I'm an owl. Then I bark at the sun and I'm human again." He replied "That is jibberish! It means nothing!"
 She said "If you described the northern lights to a man who had been born blind, he would regard them as nonsense: The shifting patterns of color would have no meaning to him. Perhaps you merely suffer from blindness of a different sort."

In the Forest -- Pa Erinjee

 Found a poem on a piece of paper that I'd been going to toss.  I'm not sure when this was written, exactly, but it would have had to have been last year during the summer or fall.

in the forest 

I found the doings of god-

they were small,

and will be understood.

there in the sky, it appeared

thunder

thuuuuuuuuuunder was up there

behold, fearing that I was going to be wet by it

I walked my path back over again.

inside the house of many many problems,

after some time Anita came to me.

she asked-

“while you were afraid, did you forget your troubles? “

“yes,”I said,

and hugged her.

I'm thinking of starting a voice blog in Sandic. Sat down today and just babbled about my week and all that's happened.

Lee Kuuithii salmanab erinira bateega! -- Raven catches a really big salmon!

I know, three in a day.  I'm sorry.  I promise I won't do it again D;

I'm just not wanting to lose this one, and I know how I am about not posting things if I don't do it immediately.

Anyway, this is another of the stories that Micamo shared with me.  This one is apparently from the Eyak, recorded in Krauss in 1962.  Thanks, Micamo!

A long time ago, Raven was opening mussels on the shore.  After a little while, a really big salmon came near him, and Raven thought to himself that he wanted to eat it.  He went along the shore a ways and got a big stick, and then he went back to the really big salmon.
He said to it, “Hey, that friggen stump is saying to you, “You have a huge head, o gigantic nose!”  The salmon was angry.  Raven kept talking.  “Look, it's also saying, “O you over-wide, incredibly huge head, sickening-smelling one!”  The really big salmon was very angry, and it jumped up on the shore to fight the rude stump.  Raven took its big stick and hit the Salmon on the head with it, and killed it.
He prepared it for eating, and made a fire to cook it with.  He put it on a little stick, and he started to cook it.  But he thought to himself, “That stupid helpful darn stump that is so funny ought to get to eat with me!”  And Raven went to the really big stick, and started rolling it back to where he had been.
When the fish was finally done cooking he took it from the fire so it could cool itself down a bit.  But that really big stick stood up and took the fish up, and then quickly rolled away!

Even Raven was speechless!

Rana and her sister Sira

Micamo posted a short story in ##conlang-share tonight, and I translated it. I like it! What do you think- is Rana maybe fire?

Order of Texts: Orig. English -- Sandic

Rana and her younger sister, Sir'a, were sitting around a fire. Rana said to her sister "Dreamers do not know that they dream. Could I be dreaming right now, and not know it?" Sir'a replied "The fire doesn't know whether it is a fire, or if it is you. Does that mean you could be the fire?"

Our little tree has been trimmed! But don't worry, it's for its own good. :)

Hi there!

 I was troubled when I kept noticing that, clicking through the texts list that used to be on the right-hand side, a lot of texts that were available were horribly out of date. Anyone clicking through to them wasn't getting accurate information, and I felt guilty.

...Plus it was pretty cringe-inducing, looking back at texts that appeared to have been written by a child. :p

I've updated everything that used to be on that blog, and you can get to it here.

It's completely in haes leezei, just like the dictionary, which will make trying to look words up much easier.

 If you are looking for the old blog itself for some reason, you can find it (completely intact) over here.

 No worries, this blog will continue much as it always have! It just underwent a bit of pruning to enable new growth!. :D
