Ever since Facebook and the birth of Mead Sandidan, though, it's slightly fallen to the wayside. I think my last post here was in 2014, can you believe it?<br />
<br />
Rest assured, though, Sandic's been active- it never fully leaves. It's got a couple more books in it now, and is somehow (mind-blowingly) going to be part of a conlang documentary, among other things.<br />
<br />
The problem with Mead Sandidan is that it doesn't efficiently hold *all kinds* of texts. Some of the more rambly kind of... you might say "blog"-style entries... ;) don't fit very well over there. And for that reason I've decided it's prudent to reboot old Wytn-Awake.<br />
<br />
How and if anything'll come of this little jolt of life for our old friend the blog, we'll just have to see in time. Otawwsa wii awwtesa ia :)<br />

<br />--------------------<br />(VILANI) Blogda ushaesi, pal feesbuuk uspuutuui, a meer ba 7i kiimi 2016<br />--------------------"I used to think that this language would be something I'd grow out of- like a snake shedding its skin because it's grown out of it. Not in a callous way at all, cast aside like something unwanted or irrelevant, of course- but my imagining was that it'd be preserved lovingly, looked back on with some perplexedness once the years had gone by- "To think, you know, that I ever used to wear that! How different the times were!"<br />
<br />
I imagined that I'd somehow wake up one day and be like other people: able to engage easily with my fellow human beings, having cast aside bitterness and fear. And there have been times that it's waned and gone to sleep, and I think to myself, "Now it begins."<br />
<br />
<br />
But now, as I get a bit older, and as I go into new places and new experiences again and again, touching catalyst of growth after catalyst of growth, I always come to these places where English is not allowed- where my brain cannot let it go- and so, like a kite that's been flung so far aloft during my times of incubation, I draw the language painstakingly back down to me, stumbling at first, but desperately, sometimes panicked. Is this how a rabbit feels when it's pulled from its warren?<br />
<br />
And every single time I left it go far away and then claw blindly to bring it back, there is the amal jeeb ba jae, forgiving, holding out the chance to regain fluency, to put back on the camouflage- filling holes in the smoothness of my outer shell- gently, but needed- like a prosthetic for the limbless: worn, maintained, sometimes detested...<br />
<br />
Beautifully, scarredly symptomatic. My love.</div>

<br />
There were some small alterations made.
The rhythm came out rather like "Prayer of White Buffalo Woman", I suppose!<br />

Once upon a time, a farmer's donkey fell down a well. It cried pitifully for many hours, while the farmer tried to figure out what he ought to do.<br />
<br />
But finally the farmer decided that the donkey was not worth it and that the well ought to be covered up anyway because it no longer had any water.<br />
<br />
The great effort to save the donkey was simply not worth doing.<br />
<br />
He invited all of his neighbors to come help him. They took shovels and started shoveling dirt into the hole with them.<br />
At first when the donkey realized what was going on, it cried pitifully. But surprisingly the crying stopped. After some more shoveling, the farmer looked into the well.<br />
<br />
He was surprised by what he saw!<br />
Once the dirt hit its back, the donkey would shake it off and step up onto it!<br />
<br />
As the neighbors kept shoveling, the donkey kept doing that thing- it stepped up onto it!<br />
<br />
After a short while, they were all very surprised when the donkey along the edge of the well and then happily danced away.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story:<br />
Life will shovel many things onto you, so many! To save yourself from the well, every trouble is a stair!Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544782713922530554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083184670727736603.post-65521591183595419652014-05-10T19:20:00.004-07:002014-05-10T19:23:05.616-07:00Feeling guilty about not updating, so...So, here you go. I'm editing antho stories (slowly but surely due to my laptop dying) and haven't had much of anything new (thank god) to add here.<br />
<br />
It'll probably be a while before I'm done with it, but that's okay. I'm going to try and get a sound file of all of the stories, too, so they can be preserved!<br />

Here is a fragment of the story "King of the Crows".<br />

<b>Four words for our desire </b><br />
<br />
A man gave a coin to four people so that they might buy something with it.<br />
<br />
The persian said, “I will purchase an angur.”<br />
<br />
The arab said, “No, we will get an inab, you bother.”<br />
<br />
The turk said, “No, an uzum!”<br />
<br />
The greek said, “Shut up, all of you. We will get an istafil.”<br />
<br />
Behold, they began to fight amongst themselves, and to punch one another, and this looked to go on without ending.<br />
<br />
If a person had been there who knew many languages, he could have calmed them, and said, <i>“But I will sell you the bunch of grapes you are looking for, for the value of that coin. </i><br />
<br />
<i> Trust me. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Be calm, and you who are enemies to one another will agree with each other. </i><br />
<br />
<i>And I know a secret meaning, which makes those four words of yours into one wine.”</i>Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544782713922530554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083184670727736603.post-61005256090558895212014-03-30T22:58:00.004-07:002014-03-30T22:58:55.649-07:00kant ian ba jwia keesoiA song from my childhood.<br />

I can write in Sandic itself now, with a little bit of effort on my part! It makes me happy beyond belief.<br /><br />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<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Anyway, below is "The creative adult is the child that survived." ("Ba dalkai ohii ka baahl iat aan ma ba gezo kaahl, iat bajjew.")<br /><br />

I translated a new prayer, which can be seen below. <br />
<br />
Also, I've decided that I'll put the voice blogs over into my dedicated personal sandic-language <a href="http://ytemiinia.blogspot.com/2014/03/blogdan-ussjaein.html">blog</a> so that they won't flood the aggregator. I added a link to it on the side bar, too, under "miscellany". --------><br />
<br />
This prayer is from Ceiswr Serith, from his book "A Book of Pagan Prayer".<br />

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!"<br />
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."<br />

I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again D;<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />

<i>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. <br />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. <br />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. <br />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!<br /><br />Even Raven was speechless!</i>Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544782713922530554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083184670727736603.post-63478325708750684742014-03-15T22:33:00.000-07:002014-03-15T22:40:05.379-07:00Rana and her sister SiraMicamo posted a short story in ##conlang-share tonight, and I translated it. I like it! What do you think- is Rana maybe fire?

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?"

Hi there!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
...Plus it was pretty cringe-inducing, looking back at texts that appeared to have been written by a child. :p<br />
<br />
I've updated everything that used to be on that blog, and you can get to it <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x_RF-KwCRujF3_OWXT69nYIHZgmPOT7wHspCm8sdKvw/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>.<br />
<br />
It's completely in <i>haes leezei</i>, just like the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvL1a-y8UNstdFR1b0NPck5YTFFCa0tGVVFkUHZvZmc&usp=sharing">dictionary</a>, which will make trying to look words up much easier.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for the old blog itself for some reason, you can find it (completely intact) over <a href="http://old-wytn-awake.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
No worries, this blog will continue much as it always have! It just underwent a bit of pruning to enable new growth!. :DAaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544782713922530554noreply@blogger.com0
