Well, until you post the correct answer along with where this quote comes from, everyone has the chance to claim the victory.

I don't know about some others, but I'd like a hint.
You could, for example, translate that dakryous there.

That's exactly the one I would like to keep hidden as long as possible.
![]() Well, I can tell you it's a noun. A plural noun. And it is the object of the sentence (of "ymeis", that it). That much has to suffice.

Thank you, Legate!
![]() ![]() Unfortunately I am not able to bring something so exotic, and am lazy to boot, so it'll be plain German today. (If too easy, I'll bring up Swissgerman again next time ![]() Quote:

It's that, and don't look at me. I admit taking it from the Swedish translation instead of translating myself. *insert angelic smilie*

After a long and hard work, and with a little help from a walking dictionary called Aganzir, I have it. I asked just for a few words, though, I think three or so (tule, muuta/muut and kuule). Otherwise, there were just confirmations whether my finds were correct (and mostly, they were not).

The first quote is, of course, right but the second one made me laugh hysterically.

All right. Whatever. It's a lovely quote, and appropriate at this time, anyway

Oh my, now what was the original quote
![]() Aaah yeees, I know now! hémeis/hémon - a form of "we" or "us" (the second being "our") hodou - road or way chóra - land And again, I will suggest you try to look for words which, or whose parts would seem familiar to you. Right now I see at least two, one of which is quite obvious, another has a root inside it which can be thought of... possibly.

I haven't forgotten this, I keep looking at it from time to time .
I found or guessed several words (those you gave I had already found) but others remain mysterious and the whole thing doesn't ring a bell. (It took some time til I found that it has nothing to do with Háma! ![]() Here's what I get until now: Simultaniously (....) we carried of the road (....) setting of the sun and from afar found (....) land where heart... (....) both stop again (....) Perhaps someone else can make sense of this...

It's actually very good and very close. I am sure someone could see the original quote in that.

Thank you, Legate!
Since Aganzir's German is too good I'll try Swiss-German dialect to make it more challenging. "Ich bi sicher du häsch mir s'aller schwärste Züg gä. Ich ha Verbarme mit Schnägge, und allne wo ihri Hüser uf ihrem Rugge träged."

Well done, Cailin!
![]() Swiss German dialect has some things in common with Dutch, like the guttural "ch" sound.

New quotation
''Blijf hier maar zitten ... en kijk uit over de landen waar kommer en kwel zal neerkomen op degenen die jij aan mij hebt uitgeleverd. Want jij hebt het gewaagd me te bespotten.''
Hopefully in the future I'll have time to translate a part into another language, but as I have no time at the moment, this is what you're getting. ![]() |
