MAKATI CITY (MindaNews / 23 June) – One of the promises I made to myself was fulfilled upon seeing the exquisite Surigao Treasures on June 2

The “Reuniting the Surigao Treasures” exhibit is the first time those treasures are all gathered together in one place in the Philippines. It is much larger than the joint exhibit in 2015 in New York City’s Asia Society Museum co-curated by Drs. Adriana Proser and Florina Capistrano-Baker. The latter is the curator for the Ayala Museum’s exhibit.

… The exhibit features a four-kilogram chain (Ayala Museum) reuniting with its pronged finial (BSP), woven waistbands with seven belts (BSP) meeting partial and complete sashes and buckles (Ayala Museum), and a balance scale (Ayala Museum) paired with a scale pan (BSP).

Other items the BSP is loaning to the museum include a 4.5-meter kamagi chain consisting of 12 connected necklaces, bangles with semi-precious stones, necklaces with suso beads, and more finials.

The exhibit, which will run until 2027, coincidentally begins with the 50th or golden anniversary of the Ayala Museum.

From left to right, top to bottom: (1) a 4-kilogram gold chain regalia; (2) a 91.5-cm long neck ornament weighing 812 grams; (3) a goblet weighing 41.9 grams with a height of 3.1 cm and a diameter of 7.8 cm. All MindaNews photo by Roel N. Catoto.

Osimandyas

kang Percy Bysshe Shelley

Nagkabagat ako’g tigpanaw sa karaang dapit,

Nga miingon, “Adunay dagkong kinulit nga tiil,

Nagbarog sa kabalasan… Unya, adunang sikbit,

Nadugmok nga nawong naunlod, ng’ang tamihid,

Ug ngabil nga kunot, ug bugnaw nga pagping-it,

Nagpaila sa tinguha nga iyang tagkulit nakahibaw

Nga apan aduna pa, ug nagiak ining mga butanga,

Ang kasingkasing nga magpakaon, mga kamot mamalikas;

Ug aduna sa patonganan ang kining mga pulonga:

Ako ang Hari sa mga Hari, ang pangalan Osimandyas;

Tan-awa akong mga Buhat, mga Gamhanan, ug pagsubo!

Wala nay laing nahabilin. Nagpalibot sa kagabok

Sa kadtong dakong Kagubaan, mahawan og malayo

Ang pagkalapad sa balas mihaklap kaayo’g tabok.”

Kon—

kang Rudyard Kipling

Kon aduna pa imong maayong buot bisan ang tanan

Nangayabag na unya ikaw ang gipasinganlan,

Kon sigurado ka’s imong barog bisan ikaw gidudahan

Unya gipabili pa g’yod nimo ilang giduhaduhaan,

Kon makahuwat ka unya dili ka kapoyon,

Unya ilaron gani apan dili ka mangilad balik,

O gidumtan ka unya dili madumtanon

Unya dili ka mahambogon o mabugirit:

Kon dili ka madala sa imong mga gipangdamgo;

Kon dili lang g’yod ka kutob sa pagtinguha;

Kon ang Kadaogan ug Katalagman’s imo mutagbo

Unya walay kalahian imong pagtagad’s duha;

Kon madawat ra nimo imong gipanghisgot

Nga ibitik para’s mga tonto sa mga limbongan,

Kon imong singkamot matan-aw nimong madaot

Unya ayohon ra nimo balik gamit’s karaang himan:

Kon mapundok nimo tanan nimong nadag-an

Unya irisgo nimo tanan sa usa lang ka sulay,

Unya mapildi ka ‘pan makabalik gihapon’s gigikanan

Unya dili g’yod magpabilin sa diin ka nabitay;

Kon mapugos nimo’ng kasingkasing, ugat ug unod

Nga imbis wala na sila, palihokon gihapon

Unya mopadayon nga wala nay nagbuhi g’yod

Gawas sa Diwa nga misinggit og “Padayon!”

Kon paray’gon nimong tawo unya ikaw mithion gihapon

Kon makasugat ka’g Hari unya dili ka mubiya’s katawhan

Kon sa kalaban ug sa kauban dili ka masamaran

Kon tanan mupasakay’s imo unya dili nila palabion;

Kon mapuno nimo ang usa ka minutong bagsak

Sa sisenta ka segundong pagpaninguha,

Imoha ang Kalibotan ug tanang aduna diha,

Ug—unsa pa g’yod—ikaw Ulitawo na, anak!

“fish don’t even know theyre wet” and? you don’t even know youre luft (air equivalent of wet)

adhd-languages

This is a really good example of how we can just make up words that work. “Luft” is a perfect word for this it feels correct and we understand and can feel it.

Like it would’ve necessarily work with other words but “luft” is a combination of sounds that means luft (air equivalent of wet).

questbedhead

Thank you but the reason it works is because it is a deliberately chosen word!

The closest word we have in English for ‘wet but with air’ would be ‘aerated’, which is the past principle of the verb ‘aerate’. As a multi syllable Latin derived word, aerated wouldn’t feel equivalent to wet even if you just used it as an adjective in a sentence- so to have something that feels like ‘wet’ I looked for a monosyllabic air-related word with a German root.

As many have pointed out in the notes, ‘Luft’ means air in a lot of languages, because it comes from the proto-Germanic word ‘luftuz’. It’s also used in English as a chess term, and is a doublet of ‘loft’. Because it’s rare in conversational English but has the right etymology to evoke the idea of air and the texture of ‘wet’, it is very easily appropriated for the concept of ‘air equivalent of wet’.
