The CBB

I’ll pass the torch to Jack and protondonor tomorrow. Apologies for being late, I’ve been very busy this week.

Done!

Hi all! 🙂 I’ve updated the OP with the schedule. The relay should start next Monday (March 1), and everybody will have three days’ time to do their part. If you expect you’re going to be busy when it’s your turn, make sure to post here & I’ll adjust the schedule for you. If you missed the relay,...

Welcome to the 13th CBB Conlang Relay! At the start of your turn, you will receive a short text written in a conlang of the previous participant. The PM will contain some grammar info and a short glossary - just enough to translate the text. Your job is to make sense of the text, translate it to you...

How would Slavic reflexes of the words below look like if they existed in PIE? *korteks *hipotalamos *hippokampos *amygdala Take nearest PIE approximation. Only the first word can be projected back to PIE: Latin cortex is from *kor-t-ek-. If it existed in PIE, the proto-form was indeed probably *ko...

Could this one be Abui?

I’ll post the last week’s Corcyran entries here. Lexember 21st Corcyran has got compounds which are just short verb phrases fused into a single word. tınastope n. f. tí‧na‧stó‧pe [ˌtiˑnɐˈstoˑpe̞] 1. corkscrew — Univerbation of tına stope “pulls corks out”, see tınar “pull” and stopa “cork, stopper”....

So I'd guess, assuming that Click translated rather literally, the Old Wenthish text probably added around 15-20 words of bloat to the Ring 1 torch. Although, to be fair, some of the bloat was of a kind that there'd be a high probability of a later translator cutting back out! Popping in to say tha...

Torch passed to @brblues.

I apologize for the wait and will finish up the torch soon.

Received.

Count me in! I’m using PL.

Torch passed to J Reggie & apologies for taking so long!

Got it.

I'm in.

Hi! We completed the relay last week, but it's only now that I've gotten around to release the game results. Enjoy! This is the initial text: . He had never been in that restaurant but he knew the value of its name. Walking swiftly by at night he had seen doormen in front of the door and richly dres...

Thanks, I'll publish the results tomorrow.

Don't want to be that guy again, but what's the problem right now? I feel like the relay should be finished by now shouldn't it? I have forwarded Znex's torch to shimobaatar, who will translate it to English and thus complete the relay game. Could the first ring be considered done, with DesEsseinte...

Hello! As this relay game draws to a close, the final step before publishing the results is translating the last participant from each ring's text back into English. I would normally be tasked with this, being the first participant of the relay, but I believe that I'm not going to have the time for ...

Can't say how much I'm looking forward to the results! @Click: As for now it appears that Circle 1 will be done far ahead of Circle 2. Are you planning to release Circle 1 as soon as it's finished or are you going to wait till both circles are at their end? I will release the results as soon as bot...
