The First Sermon in Dunmeris

Cross-posted from the Facebook lore group because I though it fit much better here.

Little challenge: try to figure out the grammatical structure of the language without me explaining it. ;)

Well, since I’m a masochist and one language wasn’t enough to completely fill up all the time I don’t have, I’ve put aside Jel for a while to work on something else, and today I’ve finally finished it. Celebrating the arrival of c0da in a few days, let me give you Sermon 1 from the 36 Lessons of Vivec in its entirety, translated in Dunmeris. Enjoy.

Mahl De

Mulna Velothina, ne Kimeri, t’ledisse, Kinedila thir asur. Ayem flante nechuhliye del pagis, a kai sei ulne Boethiyane, ne Khan Kalahne, annis, a jiti leteri d’leteri sei parit prodekud sim parel-ja ko sefeni pareliye-ja annis. Ayem sarel nechuhle pranis a safis:

“Jah Khnara Sish-Luka De-na-Seme an. Rana lutha a sfan puhn magnu, AYEM AE SEHTI AE VEHK, an, nel seru kasafikra sim sed’lati pag.”

Re Ayem sarel nechuhle relte darel skerimis, na drukhi fahyanna molok’vi a thresh’vi. Sarel nechuhle ralhadal a dahd-rehtel sejenis, mut sei dethenis luthal wuj-ja ket’ledaym. Nu puhn ko sehm junitag laradis.

Re Seht sarete nechuhle pag a safis:

“Jah Khan Dogam’tuhlvi De-na-Seme an. Rana wuj keme-kemlane an, latal d’romek sfedhiye a alteiye muthrak, nel nahjekra sim Semkhanur pag.”

A Seht khardil kedamsis a tharmeri dan anpagis, kuhle reltag shim’la-ja shinirul, a sarel nechuhle hojothris munute horellene surla Asurane visenite dolahtis. Nu puhn ko sehm junitag kag laradis, lata-wujel nahjem en Gosfarai Mefahlane a asusfarai Velothe agur kamlagi d’ruhmani Trinimake lothsafem.

Dahdri puhn sete mur semeg pagis a kuhlen tadrail johmi ne tadregin semeg lokiye kosorigaji wujru sejenis. Ulnei Serjoi Ul-ja-Tadrike annis. Re Dahdru sehm pagis, a kun-khan annis, Fa-Nuit-Hen, ne Tadrai Leteri Kedanammuhl, nam sei annis. A Fa-Nuit-Hen safis:

“Manel ratigar?”

Sare nechuhl rasafis Semkhanurel.

“Daynte Indorile junina sem tadarik, mar nu thir pag. Thilil kraguhm a memdel aretem dis sa kalummrajah. Fe del raru ul keromra.”

Re Serjoi a Kun-khan kamas-ja thirsurjamiye romem anauta a wujru a lutharu s’ruhmem sei syurum kalitadrayis.

“Rahmik, Vehk ji, a shinru sugun altemmi jahne kalthu lukal dremedhik, mar sena yan thire d’sujim jothruhm, karamit-na oleina. Masvi sei ma?”

Safed masvi masvi kumiye ne tibrolna aldur pasukiga an, nuhg sem kluvage summehlel karsis, fe Vivek semegel jahnur ald damagnina dremedhis amo ul gaisunel merru sei sejenis.

“Mar munul khard-sa fenil kragnisja,” safrase “fe hum jah semtu aleigajir khard-na fesim an. Kam ludharru jahne kune gehm an.”

Lagur sfedhi ALMSIVI.
