myo frent jode to munkath samter op dabet toled yest kwopso munkath myo-i/me frent-now jode-to be read (by) to-the samter-than op-more dabet-thick toled-always yest-to be kwopso-thither so i've just realized my language's grammar is backwards english but more importantly i've decided i don't care.
> 2. desk
karethahalek "table of studying" from karet "table" and halek "to study" note: this could also refer to the kitchen table (which is where i do my studying at home) or ostensibly one's bed or floor which would temporarily become a 'table of studying' or 'desk' while one used it as one...
> I sat at my desk longer than the day has hours. (i.e. for more > than 24 hours)
well in narethanaal the day includes only the daylight hours (from dawn till dusk) and night is considered a separate entity in that the time from dusk till midnight (or for the following 'day' midnight till dawn) would not be included as part of a whole 24 hour 'day' (in fact hours are somewhat irrelevant) if that makes sense..? probably not... anyway... attempting to translate the above sentence into narethanaal would elicit a resounding 'huh?' from a speaker of the language...
> 3. study
halek
> 4. finals / final examinations (also as sg.)
singular: kathanorpeaper plural: kathanorapeaper kathanor: test aper: to complete peaper: completion
> 5. midterm(s) / midterm examination(s)
probably just use "test": kathanor(a)
> 6. grade / score / marks

this could be replaced by either study (halek) or read (doje)
