I'm very eager to participate in one of these conlang
translation marathons, but the temptation to do the
translation from other people's English translation is
intrusive.  I know I should go to the original, but
when the translations are published, half the challenge
seems to go out of it.  I'm busy putting as much
Teonaht vocabulary into my glossary as I can stand to
do in any one free hour, so the Teo-Eng file is growing,
in case you haven't noticed.  This feels like an
accomplishment.  Meanwhile, I'm casting about for my
own translation exercise.
