Re: Megdevi Book (was Re: What is it we are saying in our languages?)

Though I'm sure I won't see this post of mine for a couple of days, ;) I
want to second Jim Henry's sentiment about writing and illustrating a
longish story in Teonaht.  I have been itching to draw and paint again,
instead of sitting oafishly at this computer, and to brush up on my Teonaht
skills.  But I imagine Jim will get to his Itlani before I do, as he is so
marvelously fluent in it.

Get crackin!

(PS: for linguistic and professional purposes, I should perhaps write the
Teonaht epic in German... sigh.)

Yes it is, seeing that I can never find the site though I've bookmarked it a
million times and I have a million bookmarks in a million folders.
Meanwhile: the forwarded message showed up July 13 in my mailbox at 1:45 pm
minutes after I sent it.  The original message I sent showed up in my
mailbox this morning (15 July) at 1:45 am.

I am unsure, too, if others have seen it, unless I put something really
provocative in it, such as a link to a picture of myself nude and dancing
dipsomaniacally on a table.  But I think even this group is pretty dead set
on going over the anti-telicl, their latest peeves about it, and ignoring
all distractions. "smiling green devil head"

I want Crazy!

Meanwhile: Your message showed up July 14 in my mailbox.  Things are being
delivered a day late, it seems.  But this is boring.

Only to those who asked for it! ;)  And it's a translation--meager, he
said--into English.
