One slight revision that’s been bothering me: I have changed the broad l to λ. It only occurs in the words tέfλðu and §λþ, but it was annoying me.

Just for fun, i’m going to have another go at translating the Vǫluspá. Here goes:

[Old Norse]
Hlióðs bið ec allar helgar kindir,
meiri oc minni, mǫgo Heimdalar.
vildo at ec, Valfǫðr, vel fyrtelia
forn spiǫll fira, þau er fremst um man.

[My original translation]
Aþ bad jơg cúluì bjólεt ac-rata,
bórga e íla ac-hanác-ráta Hémdal-u
dγd-gjot clεg jơg, Válfóðr, bjólεt ðac
vεlc ac-gú§e ac-hanác-u, calc εc narán tεmtíð clεg glácsi-jơg.

[My current translation]
Bad jơg aþ að mέlεm o, cúluì ac ráta bjólεt
bórga e íla, mέlεm hanác ac ráta Hémdal u.
Dγd gjot mέlεm clεg ðac bjólεt jơg, Válfơðr, mέlεm a
ac gú§e að ac hanác u, calc εc narán tεmtíð clεg glácsi jơg.

I’ve noticed that i’ve had some confusion as to the order of genitive constructs when eliminating the preposition. I see that i’ve used both áran clag (library) and djε§t lað (king). In keeping with the order that makes the most sense to me and the correlatives, the official rule shall now be: genetive particle first followed by subject. Hence:

library – clag arán	ruler – djε§t lað	dlatci – dlát§i glơd	bedtime – caiþ ðlai
school – bul arán	student – bul lað	german – doit§ glơd	morning – tεmέt (ðlai)

and so on... And note the invention of caiþ, the word for sleep.

Well, time to revise the lexicon again.

04.20.02.01.19.10.43

Just some words i’ve been tossing around in my head. Let’s see if we can come up with something for them to mean... What words do i still need? Prepositional adverbs might be good; i have a few, but i’m not sure if i like them. Then again nothing beats good old fashioned nouns and adjectives. Then again, probably i should just hold onto them until i come up with something i need.

caiþ
mεc
brau
stax
vlaið

Anyway, moving on, i foresee a sort of revolution coming on for malt§έgj... i’m thinking of merging the language, at least language family-wise, with barac. Of course the grammar is completely different, but i think a few cognates would help along barac’s development as well as give an interesting sense of history for the two. Of course, this won’t really affect malt§έgj very much, but i thought i’d bring it up anyway.

04.20.02.01.10.11.52

A couple new words spawned from an email i wrote to a friend about malt§έgj:

vlag = to teach (hence,
lað vlag = teacher,
lað rac vlag = student, &c.)
jiv = beer
nac = now (see above)

Yay! Well, now that that’s all over with, and the new words have been added to the lexicon, we can finally move on...

04.20.02.01.10.01.40

I’m again starting to feel the need for some sort of alphabet for malt§έgj. Don’t worry though, i’ll try to keep it to myself for as long as possible.

I think the word mεs should be considered an article of some sort. A reflexive demonstrative adjective, if you will. Something like the difference between hennes and sin in swedish or hæra and sǽna in τsœxısca. Only it can apply to any pronoun, no matter the person, because it is only used in conjunction with the pronoun it modifies if that pronoun is the subject. Hence,

I saw my sister = Dγd culóm jơg mεs adína að. But,

He saw my sister = Dγd culóm pul jơg u adína að.

Okay, i’m feeling better about that one now. So what’s next? I am still a bit concerned about clauses regarding this latest nutso sentence structure craze. But that’s probably something i’m going to have to worry about later when [REDACTED].

I need some simple words to break down some complex ideas. At first i was all about compound words like “úla ðlai o§” to mean “when” and such, but it’s getting really annoying. Some new words that i need:

who	-	-	the other person	the same person	everyone	anyone	someone	noöne
what	this	that	the other thing	the same thing	everything	anything	something	nothing
when	now	then	the other time	the same time	always	anytime	sometime	never
where	here	there	yonder	the same place	everywhere	anywhere	somewhere	nowhere
why	herefore	therefore	-	-	-	-	-	-
how	-	-	-	-	-	anyway	somehow	no way
how much	this much	that much	-	the same amount	-	any	some	none

Of course i modified the traditional esperantoèsqueness of this table, which i actually worked out quite nicely in dlatci, but i don’t think that malt§έgj, being a more random and a priori language, really requires too many words. By the way, can i mention just in passing that I actually came up with this table for dlatci and had it all worked out long before i ever heard of the esperanto correlatives, and it really pissed me off when i found out about them. Fortunately not too much, however, since mine are better! Therefore:

mlau lað, mlað	-	-	úlot lað, uláð	the same person	everyone	anyone	someone	blεg lað, blað
mlau ðrax, mlax	úli (ðrax)	úla (ðrax)	úlot (ðrax)	the same thing	everything	anything	something	blεg ðrax, blax
mlau ðlai, mlai	úli ðlai, nac	úla ðlai, naur	úlot ðlai	the same time	always	anytime	sometime	never
mlau arán, mlarán	úli arán	úla arán	úlot arán	the same place	everywhere	anywhere	somewhere	blarán
mlímiὲm	ðrímiὲm		-	-	-	-	-	blímiὲm
mlau cþið	úli cþið	úla cþið	-	-	-	anyway	somehow	blεg cþið
mlau mára	úli mára	úla mára	-	the same amount	-	any	some	blára

04.20.02.01.09.14.35

I believe i need to rethink the way certain words are put together, and really come up with something solid as far as sentence structure goes. I’m not sure why, but it’s really been bothering me the last couple of days. I think partly it has to do with adjectives: in particular, the demonstrative kind. So let’s analyze that for moment, if we can...

Let’s see... demon adjectives consist of:

am	(a)
ul	(the)
úli	(this)
úla	(that)
úlot	(the other)
calc	(that, which)
mlau	(what, which)
blεg	(no, none)
jơg u	(my, mine)
mέlεm u	(your, yours)
mεlmíne u	(your, yours)
pul u	(his)
pεl u	(her, hers)
paj u	(its)
jalc u	(our, ours)
parþ u	(their, theirs)

My brain is foggy today, and i think i might be coming down with some malevolent virus, so if i don’t make a whole lot of sense, or if i overlook something fundamental, forgive me. However, thinking on a much lower level like this actually opens me up to interesting new ideas, which i’ll most likely have to undo as soon as i’m well again.

My confusion lies herein: if we are to treat these words as adjectives, they should, naturally, follow the noun they modify. However, i have been preceding the noun with most of these, which is fine as long as we can establish a decent rule for it. The problem with the possessives, in particular, is that they contain a pseudo-suffixed preposition, which conflicts with any preposition the noun might be using. So my initial solution is to declare that all demonstrative adjectives precede the noun they modify. So using that idea, let me see what still bothers me about changing around this translation...

nos dyd ðac almítra, “mεn ðac jalc að ðblεucþ έloi.” e dyd bran pul mεs ul talp mεs e dyd culóm ut ul ga§ág a, e dyd t§ơ§ am wára parþ ap. e dyd ðac pul am harέc bórga oc: lơ bad t§ơ§ ðblεucþ úla ðlai o§ mέlεm að, mεn grol§ pul it, mal lơ εc pul u ac bweð pul u xa§ e tεlx. e lơ t§ơ§ pul u ac fwi pul u úla ðlai o§ mέlεm εð, mεn gεlc mέlεm pul a, mal lơ dyd nag patáx ul styx huct mέlεm að, úla, rac stáfad calc pul u ac áro§ e. e ðac pul úla ðlai o§ mέlεm a, cwégir pul a, mal lơ dyd nag patáx pul u harέc pul u naxád a§ mέlεm u ac vlaj mέlεm u a§, lεf naxád a§ batár yen u gwárxo a§. ðrímiὲm lεf anácne ðblεucþ mέlεm að, t§a nag clớgεx pul mέlεm að. lεf εc pul mέlεm u dúmbwe i mέlεm u, t§a εc pul mέlεm u xóre§à i mέlεm u. lεf t§ơc mεs pul mεs mέlεm u ac §ála a mέlεm u, e §adé pul ul ac ro§ að narán javlé jadío iþ (calc?) rac báralà, t§a nag t§ơc na§ pul na§ mέlεm u ac rεnáþ a mέlεm u, e báralà a§ parþ að parþ u fástnar o a§ mó§arà a parþ u...

Well, that looks a little different. New rules: adverbial particles (gads, i can’t even think of the proper names for things... those little end-of-the-sentence things that aren’t quite prepositions) will now DIRECTLY FOLLOW the verb they modify. This being a language with no changeable words, we have to stick related things as close together as possible so we can keep track of them!

Here’s an idea that just seeped out of my addled brain. It might be interesting one day to create an alternative malt§έgj language that would actually incorporate all the adverbs and particles and prepositions into their respective nouns and verbs and pronouns and such... the pronunciation would remain the same, but the orthography would change significantly... for instance instead of

e dyd bran mεs pul ul talp e dyd culóm ut ul ga§ág a, e dyd t§ơ§ am wára parþ ap.

one might write

e dydbran mεspul ultalp e dydculomut ulga§aga, e dydt§ơ§ amwara parþap.

or something vaguely similar that would allow for a slightly less rigid sentence structure. But that’s a project for a different day.

The other thing i wanted to take care of was a standardization of the orthography concerning diphthongs. I’ve been rather wishy-washy about it and i’d like to get something set in stone. I’m just not sure what. I think i’d feel a lot better about it if i had some other vowel that i could use for “y,” because right now it’s [ɪ] and [j] and [i]. The trouble is, i need something that has a full range of diacritics so i can indicate if it’s stressed or not. Perhaps ι? That would at least give me ι, ί, and ὶ, but it looks a little too similar to i, í, and ì. и, и́, ѝ? No. I can use some random character and play around with combining diacritics, too, i suppose. Then again there’s also ê, ế, and ề, but that seems a little excessive on the diacritic front. η, ή, ὴ? Maybe... or υ, ύ, ὺ. Yes, that does bring out that lovely welsh feel to it, even though it’s a greek letter.

Ευρηκα! How about i break a couple rules of what’s supposed to be a consonant and what’s supposed to be a vowel and i just use γ? Perfect.

So... γ will now represent the short i [ɪ], diphthongs will be formed with i, and glides will remain y. Similarly, although this isn’t as i’d planned it, diphthongs will be formed with u and glides with w. So mote it be!

Which means i have to go mess with the lexica again.

Ack. I forgot about the voiced velar fricative. That’s y too, and by rights it should have the first stab at γ. Too late now... that shall become...um...ђ? ג? That might look a little weird. But since i haven’t really used that letter yet that i can remember, i’ll just say that theoretically, should i ever use it, it will be ђ, just because i kinda like that letter. Then again, since it’s a consonant and i really don’t have to worry about diacritics and such, it could be just about anything. ğ perhaps. Actually, i’m not going to worry about it until i have a need for it.

04.20.02.01.07.13.08

A few rules to review, which i’m not sure if i’ve made rules before, or if i’m just breaking them now:

The plural particle ac shall now and evermore directly precede the noun it modifies.

The following rigid sentence structure shall hereby be adhered to:

– conjucntion – particle [§lþ – lơ – dyd – nag – cwarþ – blai – rac] – verb – adverb – (ac) subject (adjective) – (ac) temporal or spatial clause (adjective) (preposition) – secondary verb – (ac) direct object (adjective) (preposition) –

I think there are a few more things that will eventually fit into that diagram as well, but for now, let that serve as a model for all sentences until i can find something to add to it.

...ðrímiὲm lεf anácne ðblεucþ mέlεm að, t§a nag clớgεx pul mέlεm að. lεf εc pul dúmbwe i mέlεm u, t§a εc pul xóre§à i mέlεm u. lεf t§ơc pul mεs ac §ála a mέlεm u, e §adé pul ul ac ro§ narán javlé jadío iþ rac báralà, t§a nag t§ơc pul na§ ac rεnáþ a mέlεm u, e báralà parþ að fástnar a§ mó§arà a parþ u...

04.20.01.11.22.01.41

Okay, i’m back. I’ve updated the lexicon thus far and made a few slight corrections. Since the malt§έgj orthography is now pretty firmly established in somewhat standard characters, i see no reason to continue using the Chrysanthi Unicode font, as proud as i may be thereof; Times New Roman is capable of producing all the characters i need, and is somewhat more compact.

So, to continue...

...e ðac pul úla ðlai o§ mέlεm a, cwégir pul a, mal lơ dyd nag patáx harέc pul u naxád ac vlaj mέlεm u a§, lεf naxád batár yen u gwárxo a§.

Malt§έgj Project Part IV

I’ve gotten a bit caught up in Baraq lately, so i figured it would be a nice change to revisit malt§έgj for a bit. I figured a good start would be a translation, so here, from Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet, “On Love:”

On Love

Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love." And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your heights and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. ... All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears... [abridged]

nos dyd ðac almítra, “mεn ðac jalc að ðblεucþ έloi.” e dyd bran pul ul talp mεs e dyd culóm ut ul ga§ág a, e dyd t§ơ§ am wára parþ ap. e dyd ðac pul am harέc bórga oc: lơ bad t§ơ§ ðblεucþ úla ðlai o§ mέlεm að, mεn grol§ pul it, mal lơ εc ac bweð pul u xa§ e tεlx. e lơ t§ơ§ ac fwi pul u úla ðlai o§ mέlεm εð, mεn gεlc mέlεm pul a, mal lơ dyd nag patáx ul styx huct mέlεm að, úla, rac stáfad calc pul u ac áro§ e.

Okay, i’m already exhausted from that. But i’ve made up quite a few new words, and possibly encountered some new grammar to talk about and rearrange and ponder, so i’ll be back later.

[Editor's Notes]

That brings us to the end of "Section III" of the project, as well as the end of the files that were preserved in PDF format.  Part IV remains only as a word document, and as such may contain some errors where fonts and certain characters are concerned (if any were used there).

04.20.01.10.22.12.40

Just a few comments. I attempted to make a malt§έgj version of my website, which generated a few new words:

clyc	click (as in “click here”)
mlacþ	ready, finished
dwεg	new
blími	word

I also updated the website on malt§έgj verbs, which may be useful to include here. Most of this has already been stated, but it can’t hurt to clarify:

[Editor's Note: I'm really not going to bother to try to recreate the website's style sheets and special effects here on my blog. I was just excited at the time to have learned how to do it. I'm fairly over it now.]

ul iþ T§έcmað Malt§έgj u Scrav u ac Blími The title of this page is actually somewhat inaccurate, as verbs are not conjugated in the malt§έgj language, but a brief explanation of verbs is in order in any case. There are no special endings to indicate person, tense, or number in malt§έgj, however there are certain particles as in asian languages which denote tense. Number and person are indicated by the pronoun (which is not optional as it is in some languages where person and number are indicated by a suffix). nag future (equivalent to “will do” or “shall do”) Nag bliv jơg paj έloì. I will think about it. dyd past (roughly equivalent to “did” or “did do”) Dyd bliv jơg paj έloì. I thought/did think about it. cwarþ perfect (equivalent to “have done”) Cwarþ bliv jơg paj έloì. I have thought about it. blai progressive (equivalent to “to be doing”) Blai bliv jơg paj έloì. I am thinking about it. lơ subjunctive (roughly equivalent to “should do” or “would do”) Ec paj lơt§έg clεg lơ bliv jơg paj έloì. It is important that i think about it. rac passive (changes a verb to the passive voice) Rac blai bliv paj έloì. It is being thought about. §lþ interrogative (changes the sentence into a question) §lþ nag bliv mέlεm paj έloì. Will you think about it? ac plural (makes a noun plural - this does not affect verbs) Blai bliv jơg ac clag έloì. I’m thinking about books. These particles can be used alone or in combination to create a wide variety of tenses. The most common combinations are shown here: nag + cwarþ = future perfect ("will have done") Nag cwarþ bliv jơg paj έloì. I will have thought about it. nag + blai = future progressive (“will be doing”) Nag blai bliv jơg paj έloì. I will be thinking about it. nag + lơ = future subjunctive (“would do”) Glơca jơg cleg nag lơ bliv pul paj έloì. I hope that he will think about it. dyd + nag = conditional (“would do”) Dyd nag bliv jơg paj έloì. I would think about it. dyd + cwarþ = pluperfect (“had done”) Dyd cwarþ bliv jơg paj έloì. I had thought about it. dyd + blai = imperfect (“was doing”) Dyd blai bliv jơg paj έloì. I was thinking about it. dyd + lơ = past subjunctive (“were doing”) Glơca jơg cleg dyd lơ bliv pul paj έloì. I hope that he thought about it. dyd + nag + cwarþ = conditional perfect (“would have done”) Dyd nag cwarþ bliv jơg paj έloì. I would have thought about it. When particles are used in combination, there is a set order to them, most of which is common sense. You may use the table below to remember the order. dyd - nag - cwarþ - blai - rac - lơ - §lþ

Wow, it’s nice to know that I can do that with my web pages in case I need to PDFify them. Anyway, the malt§έgj version of the webpage itself was a brutal disaster, so I’ll spare you that one. Why is this thing suddenly back on auto-correct? Grrr… Remind me to start beating my lab monitors.

Oh, i’m not sure if i ever put the word lơt§εg in the lexicon. It means “important.”

Okay, we’re almost twice the length we should be here, so it’s time to wrap up chapter three of the malt§έgj project. Bjólεt nad mέlεm a!

04.20.01.09.17.16.40

I think i’ve finally succeeded in completely getting rid of all affixes and making this what i set out to create: a language where words exist in and of themselves without mutating, morphing, changing, shifting, or anything else. Kind of like chinese, in a way, but much more malt§έgjèsque! Of course that does away with my ever so poetic mlàwarán, but such is life.

All prepositions are now to be considered separate words. I know, there goes the whole idea that started this language in the first place, but oh well. I’ll probably be adding some consonants to a few of them as well. Prepositions will, however, still follow the word they modify. The prefix ac- for the plural will now become a separate particle, but will not be needed if a number is included in the sentence.

The short list of particles thus far, which is certain to grow as the language expands and i find new and exciting things to do with them, is as follows:

dyd	past	dyd narám jơg	i wrote
cwarþ	perfect	cwarþ narám jơg	i have written
blai	progressive	blai narám jơg	i am writing
nag	future	nag narám jơg	i will write
lơ	subjunctive	lơ narám jơg	(that) i (may) write
rac	passive	dyd rac narám clag	the book was written
§lþ	interrogative	§lþ dyd narám pul clag að?	did he write the book?
ac	plural	dyd narám pul lεxέt ac clag (but) dyd narám pul dan clag	he wrote many books. he wrote seven books.

So let’s talk sentence structure for a minute here. I know we’ve been through this before, but i just want to solidify some things. Okay, basic structure is VSO, but depending on prepositions can be VOS. Let’s add to that. PVSO has become apparent in dealing with the verbs, but should there be an order to the particles themselves? Actually, that’s something that has to be determined by the individual particle i suppose. For instance, dyd must precede cwarþ, because otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense. That would be like the difference between ‘he had gone’ and ‘he has went.’ I think i would like to see §lþ remain close to the verb, though, so we’ll say tentatively that §lþ must directly precede the verb. Ach, i’m starting to have flashbacks to those notorious ‘donkey tables’ in 9th grade french class... at least that’s what my teacher called them. She was a little weird though. (Ya know, cause the pronouns end in ‘y – en’...get it?...Ya know where you do the direct object pronouns and they go ‘me/te/se – le/la/les – lui/leurs – y – en’...okay, nevermind.)

Okay, so...

dyd - lơ – nag - cwarþ – blai – rac - §lþ - V – ac - S – ac - O

I’m not exactly sure why i put lơ where i did, but it seemed to make some sort of sense at the time.

Okay, nuff o dat. Let’s talk prepositions for a moment. They have heretofore all had an initial vowel so that they could be easily tacked onto the ends of nouns and pronouns. But now that i have sundered them, i think some can stand a few consonants to weight them down a little. We wouldn’t want any prepositions floating around on us, now, would we? But actually, that’s something i’ll work on gradually, because most of them seem to work quite nicely as they are. I still particularly like έloì.

Speaking of prepositions, i’ve decided to give one of them a bit of a rest. I’m still being way too anal about ‘u,’ and i have to get over this compulsion to genetivize everything! I mean, we can still keep it around for special occasions, but a simple combining of nouns can work just as well. I think i’ll keep it around for direct possession for the time being. So ‘the dlatci language’ will lose it’s u (dlát§i glơd) but ‘the man’s house’ will keep it (hanác u márga).

Back to particles, though, there are many particles to be found right in amongst the prepositions, like the lovely way we turn hunger into hungry with a simple oc or εm. Not sure what my point was, but i thought it was nice.

04.20.01.09.04.11.30

One more revision i would like to make today, concerning the subject of those nifty little esperantoèsque combination pronoun/adjective combinations i came up with. I wanted them to work something like dlatci, where a combination of them would generate new words, but in a language like malt§εgj they complicate things a bit too much. Hence, i’m splitting the words in two and they should still work just as nicely as they do in any other language.

ml+	ðr+	bl+	→	mlau	ul, úli, úla...	blεg
mlága	ðrága	blága		mlau arán	ul arán	blεg arán
mlaix	ðraix	blaix		mlau mára	ul mára	blεg mára
mlεð	ðrεð	blεð		mlau hanác	ul hanác	blεg hanác
mlímiὲm	ðrímiὲm	blímiὲm		mlímiὲm	ulímiὲm	blímiὲm
mlơc	ðrơc	blơc		mlau	ul	blεg
mlúmwe	ðrúmwe	blúmwe		mlau ðlai	ul ðlai	blεg ðlai
mlýcþid	ðrýcþid	blýcþid		mlau cþið	ul cþið	blεg cþið

So we got a couple new words out of all that.

mlau	what, which
blεg	no, none (already means “no” also)
ðlai	time
cþið	manner, way

I decided to keep mlímiὲm, ulímiὲm, and blímiὲm just because they’re kinda cool. I replaced the ðr- prefix with the appropriate demonstrative adjectives, of which there are now four to choose from: ul, úli, úla, and úlot.

On second thought, these can still be written as one word, they’re just not going to have the strange mutation thing going on. Hence: mlàwarán, mlaumára, mlàuhanác or mlauláð, mlauðlái mlaucþíð, &c. Notice the lovely way in which i have sculpted the contraction of mlau arán into mlàwarán, the u being replaced by a volutuous w! Pure poetry!
