I need to work on the timeline more to see what happens, who there is enough interraction with to result in significant borrowing, etc. I've been working on getting the dictionary 100% up-to-date. It's about 98% now. I've recently gotten back to work on the translation of Matthew and a few of the Psalms. I've started on a Donatist liturgy, and I've been thinking about dialects (Tripolitanian, Mauretanian, Maltese, hinterland, Jewish, gypsie) and wondering about the Carraxan Jewish community. I think the native (non-Sephardic) Jews are Karaite (Caridus). I've also been exploring customs -- like the picknicks held on the graves of the departed one the first, second, fifth and tenth anniversaries of their death; and the burning of hair cut on old year's day to symbolize making a fresh start. Tomorrow (Jan 5th) the streets of the Donatist neighborhoods will be vibrant with songs as the Holy Family search for an inn. Christmas day still lacks the liturgy I'd hoped to write for it, but does have 3 or 4 songs now. I'm still trying to choose a date for St. Donatus Day and St. Tertulian Day. I've been pouring through books on saints to find ones that will recieve special attention in the liturgy, etc. And I've been thinking about alliances between Carraxa and Provence during the Albegensian crusades. Now, I need to write a "history" of the War of the Two Queens" and map out the reign of King William III.
