That would be me :) It means, more or less, "to travel, to go, to journey"; it's appeared twice on this list -- it's also in that poem I wrote a few months ago in California: ... * V=EBano s=EFrvo seld=EBahy=EBr=E4n, v=EBanen tana'vrindor? Kalden=EF! =CBven=EF! Tarvene h=EBven=EF! Nandarim ayarin fellanad bindor. ... Translation (very approximately): "Whence sails this ghost fleet? Whither must it away? To mountains! To seas! To desert lands! Never-ending is its vital errand, amid the winds of the world." =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Re. the translation relay: Carlos, if you can get your version to me by Fri= day night (your time) I'll get it on Saturday morning and send off an Arov=EB= n translation to Fabian. Otherwise I'll get it on Monday as I'm otherwise = not here on weekends. I'll be signing off shortly after that, and will be ba= ck by late October after my exams (final exams are taken *after* summer "vacation" over here, just to make sure the student doesn't forget anythi= ng during the break, such as the fact that he/she is meant to be a full-time slave to schoolwork... :-P ) =20 Josh _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/ Joshua Shinavier =20 _/ _/ _/ Loorenstrasse 74, Zimmer B321=20 _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ CH-8053 Z=FCrich =20 _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ Switzerland =20 _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ jshinavi@g26.ethz.ch Danov=EBn pages: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/5555/ven.htm
