Wheee! A translation exercise! =)
In Classical Jovian:
|Eogu saliva suere albren casun in cambo hervon uerdon ed
audon.|
['e@g@ s@'li:v@ sy@r 'albr@N 'ga:z@n iN 'gambA 'hErvAn
'yrd@n ed 'awd@n]
In Modern (or just Slang?) Jovian:
|Is Eogu saliva suere un albur casu in no cambu non hervae
uerdes ed audae.|
[iz 'e@g s@'li:v sy@r @n 'alb@r 'ka:z in nA 'gamb nAn 'Erve
'yrdz ed 'awde]
|Saliva| is the past tense of |salire|, of course, not saliva,
which would be |saelba| in Jovian. Note how Jovian valiantly
holds on to the High Latin equus, unlike modern Romance. =)
You know, I think I'm going to make Modern Jovian official.
I'm beginning to like it more than the Classical one.
