the.f telling of_the.m story
here
The word padrun is an augmentive of padr, father. It has the special meaning of a person
who stands as a sponsor for a person receiving the rites of the Kemrese church. I
deliberately used it here to translate the phrase "Great Father". The initial
soft mutation makes it vocative.
The second person plural is used throughout to address ill Padrun as it is more formal.
Normally I would address the Divine Reality using the more familiar singular form, but I
do not have sufficient knowledge to say that this is the case here. Perhaps the more
formal petition of a (divine) patron is more appropriate here than the I-Thou relation of
Kemrese believers.
Ill gwenhith es rhiffeirthad.
the.m wind.diminitive is strengthened.
To be consistant I used the diminutive to translate the phrase "small wind".
