Sawelenedere 4

Theogony 4
Continuation of the translation of Hesiod's
Theogony into Sawelendere. In this section I tried to
stay closer to the original Proto IE roots--I have a
tendency to generate words from Latin if I don't think
of an obvious Proto-IE root, as I know much more Latin
than PIE. This version still needs work, especially on
syntax; at the moment it tends to follow word order of
the English version of Hesiod I was using.
In some places the Sawelendere is not an exact
translation of the English base text; in those cases my
English interlinear gives a literal translation of the
Sawelenedere followed by the English word from the base
text in parentheses.

John Leland
