Does anyone remember the discussion about favorite phonemes? I
assembled my favorite sounds into a "mantra of aesthetics", to be used
meditatively in times of need. E.g. when my Finnish chat colleagues
remind me of the abominable disaesthetics of their front diphthongs. ;-)
/o: Za"milla "jEndra "Ze:ni/
So far, it has been a purely phonetic phrase. Since today, it also
means something. When spelled
|O ze amille a jende razeni.|
it fits Obrenje syntax nicely. I assigned meanings to the missing
words, ending up with
O ze amille a jende razeni.
OPT PER:1:ACC comfort:3e and cleanse:3e tranquility:i
"May tranquility comfort and cleanse me."
May this mantra be a light for you in dark places, when all other
lights go out. =)
