I know only a handful of prayers in Latin, i've been drawing mostly for Czech. Hortative's in Hebrew, I've heard. I'm not surprised you didn't heard of transgressive, it's quite unique to our area of Slavic languages. It is a special form of a verb, when you want to say an action was done while another action was in process by the same person. In english, this is done by infinitive to my knowledge, or some other basic verb inflection, for example "I was making dinner,
watching the stove carefully." or somehow like that, but we have the transgressive form, it exists for present and past tenses.
Wikipedia explains it quite well. I was thinking of recording a pronunciation video, and yes, I also thought of how would they have problems speaking round vowels, so "u" is quite similar to "e" and "o" to "a". I would really need to make a demonstration, I have no clear way of describing the sounds
But I think Strik3r and someone else were interested too, so I'll try to get it done.
I've found an unfinished alphabet sheet of the kvaksulu language
Not sure what was I trying to accomplish here xD
I'll give my best shot to translate the hound-text, but my vocabulary memory is awful
. But I do have memories of first writing it, so here we go:
About animals - Hounds (or wolves, kvaksas don't care)
A hound is a large animal, high as a kvaksa stretching its legs in a line, long a little more (than that). They're wide as a pot used for beverage.
Their body has dense fur, so that they won't freeze. They have two front legs and two hind legs, pointy ears and black nose. They can smell and hear well, so that they can hunt better. They hunt together with their families small and large animals, living in woods and on mountains.
You will recognize males as by other furred animals, that is this way - males have a penis and a pair of testes in between their hind legs, they also urinate with the penis. Females don't have this, but they have two rows of small hills (as in, growths) on their stomach, they feed their children with these, they have milk there.
They give birth to many children, those have closed eyes and can only drink milk. They grow quickly.
Found a number of mistakes while translating the text
Accidentally referred to them as people multiple times. With plural of people you would usually use the special group gender, which does not exist for animals - those are referred as masculine by default. I did call them masculine, but "men" instead of "males", gotta fix that!
I think a word of note is "rehesqafylut" - it's a noun that has quite a number of tenses stacked on top of each other. The base verb is "qafyl", to freeze, literally to feel cold. The -re is negating prefix, indicating they do not freeze. -hes is the continuous tense, meaning it tends to be this way, it perpetually is like this. The -ut suffix is for verbs of the third gender, masculine, plural.
I could write paragraphs on top of paragraphs on this, but alas, let's make some space for artworks.
