Millenialism in Jases Lalal (long)

From:John Leland <lelandconlang@...>
Date:Saturday, September 18, 2004, 8:12
Reading the Dajjaj postings (a very interesting concultural creation)  and
Norman Cohn's Pursuit of the Millenium (on medieval millenialist cults)  led me
to create the following millenialist texts in Jases Lalal, modelled on the
typical legends described by Cohn
(e.g. the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, or in some versions Gog and Magog,
being released
to fight for the returning Messiah (or for Anti-Christ), the establishment of
a holy kingdom on earth, the victory of the poor over the rich etc. This
version has some specifically
Jases features, notably prediction of the victory over the Mother Goddess and
the Son God, the two deities in the tritheistic Rihana-ye religion rejected
by the  Jases religion which worships only the Father-God.
I"Zabaz"  does not literally mean "last priest" but 19th priest. As the basic
words for numbers in Jases Lalal  run to 19, the 19th also can imply the
last. The high priests of the Father God take numbered names and so the 19th
priest would be the last. As yet, the most recent recorded high priest is Mabaz,
2nd Priest, so Zabaz 19th priest is comfortably in the future.

participle plus -k noun
(specifically inanimate thing).

NOTES: 1) barpy (3rd sing.fut. barpan) is a word specifically
meaning "burn in war or arson." There are other words for
peaceful burning (pabby and paszy).
2) babzahanar dawab (will not worship no-one) is double
negative for emphasis. Idiomatic Engish would be
"No one will worship"

Note: 1) In Part 3 the original had the variant form
nah instead of han for future plural verb endings.
This has been regularized in the printed text above.
2) In many sentences in these texts, the pronoun which
should be the subject in the second half of a compound
construction has been omitted.
