Pater Ṇsere, jos kemeloisi essi,
Nōmṇ Twom sqenetoru.
Regnom Twom cemietōd.
Woliā Twā dhidhētoru,

Qāqodjūtenom bharsiom ṇserom edjēw dasdhi-nos

Enim mē noms peritloi enke prōd,

Estōd.
I tried running that through Google Translate, and it said "Translation from English into English is not supported." Touché.
ReplyDeleteYou can figure out a bit by looking (and knowing the source text - it's the Lord's Prayer):
ReplyDeleteLine 1:
Pater - Father
Nsere - close enough to Noster to know it means our.
jos - Close to quos, a Latin "who" declension.
essi - some version of "to be." Cf. "is" in English, "es" in Spanish, etc.
Line 2.
Nomn - Name
Twom - That's pretty close to Latin tuo, or, "your." If Nomn's in the accusative -- I don't know -- it makes even more sense.
Line 3.
Regnom - Kingdom, obviously.
cemietod - might be an ancestor of "to come."
Line 4.
Twa - feminine of your?
Wolia - Will.
dhidhētoru - I'm guessing the first chunk is the father of our "did." This may be a participle.
Line 5.
kemelei - Heaven? Kemel is close to caeli, Latin for heaven. Note "kemel" also appears on the first line, which is also where Heaven appears in the Lord's prayer.
Line 6 doesn't look familiar at all. Qaqodjutenom might be the word for "daily," as it looks vaguely like "quotidian." Nserom is another variant of nsere from line 1, our -- with the -m, you can guess this is the accusative case.
Line 7. Nserams again must be related to "us." "Nosotros" "Nobis" etc. A plural accusative would make sense.
Line 8.
parkomos - Definitely the ancestor of the plural nosotros ending in Spanish (Italian, Latin, etc). Parke, on the line before, is another version of the verb, maybe even a subjunctive variant. Given placement, these must be conjugations of "to forgive" (and the ancestors of our "pardon").
swai might be the ancestor of "we"
Line 10. Enim - and? noms - us.
Line 11. "mo" ... compare "mai" in Italian -- but?
Or, just cheat and read the translation:

There are only a couple of Google hits for "dhaleglāms," so it wasn't too hard to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI believe you will have to say many of those, for forgetting about your friend!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe "for having forgotten" would be a better construction, isn't it?
