First Original Rokbeigalmki Text

Heya,

when i went into school today to pick up my diploma, i stayed around to
talk to a certain teacher.  while i was waiting for him, i wandered into
a classroom and noticed the seat where i had sat on the first day of
highschool, four years ago.  it wasn't the first period, though, it was
period 3.

so i wrote this on the blackboard:

POUP I ZOUZ

Nilhao nyeng elikuh-tzed uzoi-tep,
Nilhao nyeng ii-iltao sudmet -
Nga'gaur ta'khavya-a umzo`i`
I la'lesna-a sa'droitz.
Natao azii'nyih-shek esh.
Niltao sha'esh.


PLACE AND PERSON

Nothing ever truly ends,
Nothing ever is dead forever -
Because in the heart they are
and on the tongue, in reality.
I will never forget you.
Never ever you.


interlinear:

N,ILHAO         NYENG   ELIKUH-TZED     UZOI-TEP
(negative)everything    no      (adverb)-truth  it(routine)-end

N,ILHAO         NYENG   II-ILTAO                SUD,MET
(negative)everything    no      (future)-always (adj)death

NGA'GAUR        TA'KHAVYA-A     UMZO`I`
because         in'heart-the    they-neuter(routine)

I       LA'LESNA-A      SA'DROITZ
and     on'tongue-the   with'reality

NATAO   AZII'NYIH-SHEK  ESH
never   i(future)'not-forget    you(nonsubject)

N,ILTAO         SHA'ESH
(negative)always        (object)'you(nonsubject)


_nilhao_ and _niltao_ are more general than the normal forms _nahao_ and
_natao_, since they are negatives of _ilhao_ "everything" and _iltao_
"always", to mean "nothing at all" and "never at all".

_nga'gaur_ is a prepositional compound, _nga'_ "from" and _ga'_, the
relational particle (i think that's what it's called), "that/which".

the `s in _umzo`i`_ represent rising (acute?) accents over the _oi_.
_umzo`i`_ is a verbless subject-tense complex, in this case signifying
"to be located at".

_sa'droitz_ uses the preposition _sa'_ "with" instead of the adverb
prefix _elikuh-_, to give it a more physical feeling - the memories
*have* reality, they aren't just there "really".

the repetition of negatives such as _natao...'nyih-..._ strengthen the
force of the negation.

the 'all-encompassing' _niltao_ and redundant _sha'esh_ in the last line
strengthen and emphasize the _natao_ and _esh_ of the previous line.
(and therefore the previous line's entire thought).
