I would agree with that.
But just to throw in another alternative: How about parts from `Ars
Amatoria' of Ovid? I just read it, it's fun. We could start with the
Latin original if someone is able to translate it fluently. If it's
too well-known, maybe use something else. But I suspect that many
have read Tolkien, too.
I'm also thinking about wanting into this relay, but I'm not sure
whether Tyl-Sjok has enough expression power yet; the lexicon is quite
small. How long does such a relay usually take? Is there enough time
to extend the lexicon thouroughly while doing the translation?
