Re: Weekly Vocab 16

In Modern Jovian:


 > 1. to stand
 > I am standing in the [place where ruling body meets; palace entry].

Tsau in jauna ys Plaedsun Rehaele.
[tsaw in jawn y 'plajdz@ dre'hajl]



 > 2. only
 > I feel like I'm only an ant, staring up at the murals in awe.

Me sindo sole a forwiga, prowinde eos ougli ad muraeles
[m@ 'sindA zo:l @ vAr'vi:g  prA'vind @z 'owgli a mu'rajlS

cun reobreindsa.
[cun drE'brendz]

Note: |Prower eos ougli| "to stare openly, stupefied"
       literally means "to hold forth/stick out the eyes",
       a quite graphical description of the usual reaction
       of men to the legendary china-skinned saphire-eyed
       ebony-haired beauty of the classical |feimae
       Jerwanae|.  ;-P



 > 3. banana
 > I've got a hankering for a banana right now.

Hau un aftidu nys banana nun ipfe.
[haw @n @f'ti:d ny b@'na:n nun ipf]

Note: |Ipfe|, from Latin ipse, is used both as "self",
       as in |noexas te ipfe| ['naS@S tipf] "you hurt
       yourself", and as an intensifier "the very same"
       as in |nun ipfe| "right now".



 > 4. excitement
 > That first bite sends jolts of excitement through my bones.

Ja priwa uffa mitte na fuogra nys lictaedsone per mi eos
[j@ bri:v uf mit n@ 'vu@g@r ny ,liCtE'dzo:n p@r mi z]

ossa.
[As]



 > 5. blue
 > Blue four-sided triangles dance through my head.

Na trangla lioza cadriladraela mic saudan per id caefte.
[n@ 'draNg@l li@z ,gadril@'drajl miC 'sawd@ p@r ik kEft]



 > 6. juice
 > That juice must have been past its prime.

Is sugu sin duevun era trangrissu.
[i su:g sin 'dy@v@n e:r dr@N'gris]



 > 7. better
 > No matter; it's better this way.

Nau pondra, ix mejore so.
[no 'pAnd@r  iS me'jo:r sA]



 > 8. distant
 > My hands are distant; the sky is close.

Mi mani son giongae; id coelun ix probun.
[mi 'va:ni sAN 'giNge  ik 'kAjl@n iS 'pro:b@]

Note: |Giongu| is from propinquus.



 > 9. unconscious
 > I shall soon be unconscious.

Mox jo witter pfirdu.
[mAS jA 'vitt@r pfird]



 > 10. rough
 > I fall to the floor, my face scraping on the rough carpet.

Cazo in huwu; id traugul ruhe xave mi en vuodu.
['ka:zA in u:v  it 'trawg@l ru:x Sa:v mi em 'mu@d]

Note: |Traugul| is from stragulum, |ruhe| from German
       "rauh" (pre-HG /ru:x/).
