translation and transliteration under the cut:

translation:

The myth is a home for the half-made, the split and single soul. There is no lack of ant-lions in the world, fierce and hard and twinning pride with the need for a colony. Snap at the dust that wanders round you, small but complete, safe in being dust; but it is made of earth and air, same as you. If the head and the stomach are separate, the ant-lion starves on meat; find the new truth in the elision, the story in the myth– it is not a crude compilation, but the crafting of something new.

Singing “Oh willow waly” by the tree that weeps with me. Mallait “O, kerris ten” u lass his asvaeþ xeit-i. /ma:l.lajt oʰ kʲɛr.ris tɛn u lass his 'asvajθ xʲe:jtʲi/

Singing “Oh willow waly” till my lover return to me. Mallait “O, kerris ten” maig girniþ tog-o allai. /ma:l.lajt oʰ kʲɛr.ris tɛn ma:jg gʲi:r.nis togoʰ al.la.i/

We lay my love and I beneath the weeping willow. Silêrð mayâsten-is u i’kerris asvëm. /sʲilʲɛrð maja:stɛnʲis u jikʲɛr.ris 'asvʲem/

A broken heart have I. Oh willow I die, oh willow I die. Genoiþ 'gar tir-is. O, kerris tûyam, o, kerris tûyam. /gʲeno.iθ ga:r tiris. oʰ kʲɛr.ris tʰu:jam oʰ kʲɛr.ris tʰu:jam/

prefixes & suffixes |part one|

In the Tulagaur’s language are very important some suffixes and prefixes, which are included in the dictionary form of the word.

d- /d’-/ – diminutive.

-ud (-ut) – this suffix meaning: “part of the whole”, “incomplete process”, “special case”. Depending on which speech sounds that prevail in word (breath, voiced, sonorant), is added to a certain kind of suffix.

if word has breath consonant and sonorant (or only breath), then added ’-ut’ if word has voiced consonant and sonorant (or only voiced), then added ’-ud’ if word has sonorant, then added ’-ud’

-se – this suffix meaning: “collective noun”, “modus operandi”, “generalization”. Feature of the suffix is that depending on the word may be pronounced as without ’s’ so and without ’e’.

-wed (-wet) – this suffix is the union of ’ud (ut)’ and ‘se’. It has the same meaning as that of its member suffixes. First, the word takes on the meaning of ’ud (ut)’, and then ’se’.

Example:

hoð /‘ho:ð/ – blood d'hoð /djo:ð/ – a bit of blood.

hoðud /'ho'ðud/ – drop of blood, trickle of blood, splashes of blood. d'hoðud /djo'ðud/ – droplet of blood, tittle of blood.

hoðwed /'ho'ð.ve:d/ – a few drops of blood, some splashes of blood. d'hoðwed /djo'ð.ve:d/ – very few drops of blood.
