Ah! That's easy. That's Sukkoth, a Jewish Festival of Tabernacles (Booths), commanded in Vayyiqra (Leviticus) 23:33-43. I'm trying to live a Torah-observant life, being a Jew and putting my trust in the G-d of our forefathers and His promises.

Oh! You know about Russo-norsk and Sino-Russian?! That's great! I'm amazed! Unfortunately there are very few materials on these issues. Do you have / know-where-to-find any in the Web? ObConlang: I have a raw project of Russian-based pidgin. Should I polish it to some extent and present here as the priority (I'm now working over a couple of other projects)?
