Since Schol has been giving translations, I'm going to go back and give [most] of what I have;

Post 3:

"Té Erali cu ígelá?"

Who's that Eralih?


 * Té- To Be/Is/Are/Etc


 * Erali- Eralih


 * Cu- In (Can be used in "It is" sentances for stuff that is existentially bonded. "I am the one you are talking about" for example, as opposed to "I am tired")


 * Ígelá- Who? "En bél décír del ít me re, té di ce lúdhí fhabhen ba cím. Lé me re." Don't worry about it. It is me thinking of times long past. Your move.


 * En- Not/Do Not


 * Bél- Give


 * Décír- Thought


 * Del- To


 * Ít- It


 * Me- [Marks the noun after as the subject]


 * Re- You.

"Cun re ba med"

As you wish.


 * Cun- Like/As


 * Ba- Of/Possessive


 * Med- Wish
 * 7

"Di ba culem"

My game.


 * Di- I


 * Culem- Game.

"En té. Lé del anan me re"

Is not. Go to hell.


 * Lé del anan: Go East. Similar to go to hell, the Fayn believe the soul travels West to sacred Islands of the Gods after death. A soul that travels east is doomed to wander for a long tme.

"Té anan ce dé. Bhen té dér cór di. An cún ghír én chon del re ba elin."

We are East. Moreover, it is my victory. You should go say something to your woman."


 * ce/cór: Complicated. Would best translate as "Over" and "Under" respectively, but are used for adjectives as well.


 * dé: Inclusive "We", dí is exclusive [as in "us but not you] however it is sometimes used for both.


 * Bhen: More. Here in adjectival form.


 * Dér: Victory


 * Én: One


 * Con [Chon]: Thing
 * Elin: Woman. "Re ba Elin" is used lightly to imply "the one you are talking about" more than a literal possessive.

Post12:

"Cuc ét tel cuc me re!"

Take whatever isn't nailed down!


 * Cuc: take


 * ét: Which is... [Relative Clause.]


 * tel: can/may

"Cherigan, Té fír cór di!"/"Cím con cur íc!"


 * Not too sure what I meant by these. I suspect the meaning of Fír changed [currently, it would read, "Kergen, you are shifting/shifty" and "See this thing over here!"-I think the latter is a soldier looting but it's poor grammar. Maybe he was never educated :/. Should probably be "Lem me re ce con ít": "Look at this thing[, you]!" ]

"Té Nílan ba Ban Phélúdin cu di, "

I am Pélúdin the Red of the North.


 * Nílan: North

Post 43:
 * Ban: Red. Can also be a Child's name sometimes and I'm not sure whether it's a patronymic or a nickname.
 * Délóchír: Danegild/Weregild. Translates roughly as "Life-Buying", I think the language has again shifted that now I'd favour "Délíroca" ["Life Money"] or "Déléríl" ["Life Gold"]

"Coním, bhé bhé moca del ra alon na di me Chilí elin."

Coneam, a Chilai woman has spoken to me and some people. [lit. has had words]


 * Bhé- Have. Also used for Past Tense as an auxiliary verb, similar to English, ex. "I have done this"


 * moc: Word.


 * ra: Two. If the noun after is singular then it means "a few" or "a couple"


 * alon: Man.


 * Chilí: Chilai.


 * Elin: Woman.

"On ít...?"

And...?

"Med ét gír me dí bhe médha chúdin me lo."

She wanted us to talk to the Ruler of Meiya.


 * Med: Want/Wish/Hope


 * Gír: Say/Speak


 * bhe: With. [Close to Bhé, have but the accent is critical here. Bhé is like "Vay" Bhe is like "Veh"]

"Ech bhé ghír é' lé dhír me'dhé de'lo me're?"

Note: Heavily Accent. "You said we are going to do it, no?"


 * é': ét.


 * dír: do.


 * me'dhé: me dé.


 * de'lo: del lo.

"Té lú cíder néthula cu ít, "

It's probably a trick.


 * lú: Literally three. Means "Many" when followed by a singular.


 * cíder: Luck/Chance/likelyhood [esp. as an adjective]


 * néthul: Exact translation lost,  related to "nét" which means  "lie"

"Dé ba déla"

Our Lives.
 * dél: Life.

Post 62:

"Bhoc! Bhoc! Dot me re pon aloc?"

Come! Come! What are you waiting for?


 * Bhoc!: Come


 * Dot: Wait


 * Pon: Because
 * Aloc: What reason?

Post 92:

"On lé gon di me gil ne ghal, lé lúran me ré na bél ét bhé dén ba moca."

If iron, not sun, wakes me, you go south and give word of what has passed.


 * On: If [First Clause], then [Second Clause]


 * lé: Go. Like in English, it makes Future Tense when adverbal.

"I'm going to go". The first time it is future, the second it is the verb.


 * gon: Wake. Can also be used poetically for "Die"


 * gil: Iron


 * ne: Not


 * ghal: Sun


 * lúran: South


 * ré: You [plural]


 * na: And.


 * moc: Word.

"Lé lé me dí, " One of the sailors nodded, "Tel gar me Cédíl cór ér."

We will go [lit. going to go]. Let Cédil keep you under eye (A blessing).


 * Tel-May


 * Gar- Keep/Guard


 * Cédíl- God of Wind and Wisdom. Parallels to Odin. In particular, as a wise one eyed patriarch of the Gods. A bit more antagonistic towards mankind.


 * ér- Eye.

"Bér cór ré."

Thank you [lit. Good on you].

Post 98:

"En rún ít cór di. Cula me dí cu Médha cún dhéna ba culema."

There is no love of it on me. We play the games of Meiyan law makers.


 * Rún-Love


 * di- I


 * Cula- Play


 * dí- we


 * Médha- Meiya


 * cún- Law


 * dén- Make[r].


 * Culem- Game

"Bhé radh ét bhé gír me Thúfhon me re. Té rún ba culem ne cún cu ít.." You have heard what the Huon said. It is the game of love not law.


 * radh- Hear.


 * Gír: Say/Speak


 * Thúfhon: Huon. Pronounced "Hugh-on" even if the spelling is really wierd.

"En té cím cór íd. Té cula me dé cu écábh ne cún me dí."

This is unwise. We play with what we should not.


 * cím: To see or often in a figurative sense, to know.


 * Íd: This Way


 * Écábh: Those things which...


 * Cún: Can mean "Ought", "Law", "Vow" or "Promise"
