| Smooth translation: |
During winter, the old and the weak and also the young gather inside of the
stone which is ~at the soft grass. Also, there's a wolf. We believe these things
are done to them by winter, but, we believe that winter evidently knows (evil's
difference from good / the difference between good and evil). If sub-deities
dance and sing, and, if the green spring sends good greetings to you in the air,
while one follows oneself, lead to the other. |
| Translation of previous torch |
In the winter, the old and the weak/sick, and also the young, always gather
inside the stones that are in the soft grass. And also there are wolves. We
think that winter causes things to be done to them, but we think that winter
evidently/obviously knows the difference between good and evil. It is said that
if daemons/fairies/spirits dance and sing, and if the green spring sends through
the air their happy greetings to you, while following oneself, please lead to
the other one. |

| Grammar notes |
Prebound and Postbound forms of nouns and verbs are forms that make more
phonological sense for how to take on other morphemes (prebound takes stuff
before it; postbound takes stuff after it; citation form is what's found in the
dictionary and is also nominative case). A noun solely in the post-bound form is
an adjective modifying the next noun.
Normal sentence word order is SOV.
Postpositions come after the nouns that are modified by them, and attach to its
postbound form.
Pronouns attached to a post-bound form noun are simple present tense. Pronouns
attached to a pre-bound form noun make possessed nouns (e.g. ME+HOUSE-PreBound =
my house; IT+COLD-PreBound = its coldness).
Consonants with an h after them or an acute accent (´) above them (e.g. ĺ, ŋh,
&c) are unvoiced.
participles are made with the following morphemes bound to the beginning of
verbs:
lyury(u) = present "[person who is] eating"
ly(u) = past "[person who has] eaten"
aurə(u) = future "[person who] will eat"
kə(u) = passive "[apple which was] eaten"
gfo/kfo + participle morpheme = perfective:
kfolyury = present perfective "[apple which is] being eaten"
... past perf "[apple which has] been eaten"
... future perf "[apple which] will be being eaten"
... passive perf "[apple which has been] eaten"
or something like that
The plural morpheme in this dialect of Tæĺf is -z. In other dialects first vowel
of the whichever form (prebound, postbound, or citation)'s template is replaced
with əula (X-SAMPA: @uL6).
The entries in vocab.txt are in the following order:
Tæĺf Tēlvo English
Tēlvo is an ancestor of Tæĺf; it's the source from which Tæĺf words are derived.
