That is AWESOME.

In Rozwi, the word deotar 'light' and dohtr 'sun' are related (and, technically, hotrea 'evening' is also related to dohtr.

I toyed with including a variant using the word for sun.

Now I can do it with wild abandon -

I kno your verbs are usually clause-final anyway, but the initial hüshkél with the 'delayed' hüshkél at the end. In this way, the call to rage hits one like a flash of lightning, and then thunder rumbling.
[O.O]
A simply terrific poetic/stylistic/linguistic effect. [:'(] [<3]

And the fact that hüshkél looks sort of like :eng: 'hush' - almost exactly the opposite in meaning- what a great metacognitive effect as well.


Now that's what conlanging is about.

So I'm a poet and dunnoit? [B)]

Thank you for the kind words, but I think you give me far too much credit here. I mean, where else you gonna go with an SOV translation for this? Any low thunder-rumbling going on I think can be attributed to why I get all gooey and éclair-like about SOV in the first place -- German subordinate clauses, Japanese... [<3] (front roundeds and SOV -- everything else is gravy)
And the fact that hüshkél looks sort of like :eng: 'hush' - almost exactly the opposite in meaning- what a great metacognitive effect as well.
For me, "shkél" is reminiscent of Geschreck and Geschrei, and then the imperative "hü-" is glommed on. Any metacognitive associations with "hush" are purely incidental, but hell, we'll take it. Yeah, you know the Mets? I own 'em. [B)]
Now that's what conlanging is about.
I won't dispute that. [:)]

Rača "against" is in the illative, since it is wanted that the recipient begin to rage against the dying of the light, thus entering the state of against-ness.
