Katothwa Re: the Wochik Tongue

[Kablup]

Zhivite dolgo, Velikiĭ Kevlopiya.

It basically means "Live long, Great Kablup".

Cool. What language?

I just used romanized Russian. With Google Translate

[Baptisia]

"Those who hope in the LORD¹ will renew their strength"

¹in Hebrew: YHWH Sabaoth
other possible English translations include:

• "the GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies"
• "the LORD of Hosts"
• "the Lord who rules over all"

Still has its coolness I'm having to be very careful not to turn Katothwa Re into a picture-language like German.

“Refródþa swīþóx ænebann Nētīþwa'ram.”
"We fear nothing but defeat."

Got it

"Those who hope in the LORD¹ will renew their strength"

¹in Hebrew: YHWH Sabaoth

• "the GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies"
• "the LORD of Hosts"
• "the Lord who rules over all"

And in Katothwa Re, Hac-Akhet. Added

[Maryginia]

deo vindice which is latin for god will vindicate.

I'll have to get back to you on vindication, but I can give you "Csay [vindicate] Hac-Akhet" right now.

deo vindice which is latin for god will vindicate.

Katothwa Re:

Transliterated: Csay bituvahndai Hac-Akhet

Trivia tidbit: The translation for "to vindicate," tuvahndah, is closely related to Tuvahn Darshek, the Father of the Wo'n Darshekeen nation mentioned in the original post of this thread.

[Mighty Brittania]

Do I see the word "Godmod" in here?

[Wonderchicken]

Do I see the word "Godmod" in here?

No, you see "Csay bituvahndai Hac-Akhet" there, but I can see where the combination of letters in bituvahndai could look like it starts with "god."

Our motto (National Page) is “We potior ille anticua tempus religio”. Roughly translated from Latin, "We've got that old time religion", although Latin didn't give a perfect representation of that.

English: We've got that old time religion
Katothwa Re:

Transliterated: Iashémalah laydai vai khoot leeday ag pahzheso khrav-tum
Back to English: We have religion of past days.

[TurtleShroom]

Sweet! Thank you.

OAHI. Short for:

"Original, Awesome, Happy, and Inspiring", in reference to our national motto.

I doubt the acronym will translate well, but "Original, Awesome, Happy, and Inspiring" we can do.

[Wonderchicken]

Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in hearing their translation?

[Wonderchicken]

Vidok e'Baliin

Difficult to exactly translate, but basic sense would be "Keep the Struggle Alive" - "e'Baliin" simply means "the Struggle"; "Vidok" is the imperative form of "Vidik", the latter meaning "to live".

Also, how is it that you managed to use that other script for your language? I have the script for Kharanai all worked out on paper, but haven't the faintest idea how to use it on my computer.

Well, anybody who accuses Katothwa Re of being an especially efficient language should be viewed with suspicion

Started with: Keep the Struggle Alive.
Katothwa Re:

Transliterated: Csay ekahnutai ebai khoot tokar-fa ga icskah
Back to English: You (pl) will keep the existence of the fight.

Defending the Throne of Evil

So, now...Are we defending an evil throne, or defending a throne from evil?

[Wonderchicken]

I promise I haven't quit on you; sorry it's been a few days since the last new translation. I'll try to punch a couple out tonight.

Question: Is it taking you a long time to come up with words or have you got other things to do?

[Wonderchicken]

Question: Is it taking you a long time to come up with words or have you got other things to do?

Mostly the latter. Coming up with words isn't necessarily difficult, but keeping track of how new words fit in with old words, and deciding whether to use an old rule or create a new one, checking usage against what rules there are; that kind of stuff is time consuming. Then, too, there's generating the Katothwa Re version (which is getting easier, but it's still considerably more involved than mere typing). Then there's that whole "life" thing that keeps getting in the way...

ETA Update on what's taking so long:
I found some discrepancies in the English-Katothwa Re file I'm building (namely, one Katothwa Re word was assigned to more than one English word, and synonymous meanings could not be cited). So I'm having to go through and clean up the file word by word to make sure it hasn't happened elsewhere as well.

Zhivite dolgo, Velikiĭ Kevlopiya.
It basically means "Live long, Great Kablup".

English: Live long, Great Kablup
Katothwa Re:

Transliterated: Geenahwah chaybuh, galatahn Kahblup
Back to English: Long life, magnificent Kablup

Given the many meanings of "great," and that not all of them correspond to the same word in Katothwa Re, I chose the meaning I thought most seemed to match. If I have chosen in error, please help me provide a more correct translation by providing me with a specific meaning of "great."
