CBB Conlang Relay XVI (DONE!)

[DzêtaRedfang]

It's been around six months since the last relay, and so a few days ago I suddenly had an urge to do a relay and decided that if I wanted a relay, I'd just organise it myself.

Welcome to the 16th CBB Conlang Relay! With a healthy dose of plagiarism from past relays, here's a run-down for beginners of how this works :

When it is your turn in the relay, you will receive :

• a text in someone's conlang
• a description of the necessary grammar to gloss said text
• sufficient lexicon to translate the text into English

You will then use that to translate the text into English, after which you will create:

• a translation of said text into your conlang
• a description of the necessary grammar to gloss said text
• sufficient lexicon to translate the text into English

You will pass these three things on to the next person in your ring, and these + the english translation you have made of your predecessor's text (hopefully cleaned up a little) on to the organiser (me). [Optionally you may also provide an English translation of your own conlang's text, for comparison, though it should be very similar barring literal translation differences].

Turnaround time is 72 hours per person, as usual, however it is a soft limit. However, please try not to stretch it too much. A week (thereby including at least one full weekend) should be a very reasonable time to finish your task. If you foresee that you have a very busy or stressful week before your turn begins, or shortly thereafter, kindly give a heads-up in time and we can shift you further back in the queue. If you run through a full week without completing it and there is no sign that it will be done very soon after, your turn will be passed over to avoid the relay stalling.


Finally, to quote Jackk :

TIPS & TRICKS

• If you cannot for the life of you find a word from the text in the lexicon you've been given, don't hesitate to message your predecessor. No-one is infallible and we forget random words all the time. :)
• Once you have translated your given text into English, consider doing a quick rewrite to smooth over any awkward phrasings or non sequiturs. Not only will this improve the coherency of your English translation and make it easier to render in your language (and later to decipher!), but it will also help the process of Chinese Whispers along!

I hope to begin the relay sometime during the week of April 8th - 15th, and of course, have fun!

[Jackk]

I'll sign up with my future English conlang Pésh Zúgn.

[qwed117]

I will be participating with HTAP!

[VaptuantaDoi]

I'm for sure in. Not sure what language I'll use, maybe proto-Click.

[loglorn]

Count me in too, i'll probably be using Xooch, and if reorderings need to happen i'd much rather go earlier than later.

[Acipencer]

I'll join too. I haven't decided what conlang I'll use yet but I'll tell you as soon as I pick one.

[kiwikami]

-emerges from hibernation-

Oh no, here we go again! In with Alál, I'd love to use another but my dissertation is eating my time and sanity at the moment so I'm sticking to what I'm very comfortable working with.

[Man in Space]

I’m in with Archaic Vyə.

[anonymous123]

Returning from my eternal hell slumber once again, this time with Mondolan - an alt-hist IAL.

[opipik]

I'll join with Wangrit, provided that I won't start yet another conlang in the meantime. I'd however like to be on a weekend (incl. Friday).

[protondonor]

I'd like to join in, preferably avoiding Tuesdays. Not sure what I'll join with.

[Omzinesý]

I could maybe join too with the lang that happens to be active at that moment.

[Iyionaku]

Thanks for organizing this time, Dzêta! I'll happily assume the backseat again.
I'll join either with Yélian or Paatherye, not sure yet.

[DzêtaRedfang]

Thanks for organizing this time, Dzêta! I'll happily assume the backseat again.

Had to do it at some point!

[Man in Space]

I will be out of state the week of April for which I am scheduled. Can I be switched with someone?

[Jackk]

I will be out of state the week of April for which I am scheduled. Can I be switched with someone?

I'll actually be freer later, so swapping with me would work great

[DzêtaRedfang]

I will be out of state the week of April for which I am scheduled. Can I be switched with someone?

I'll actually be freer later, so swapping with me would work great

And swapped! If anyone has scheduling concerns at any time, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it sorted out

[Flavia]

I'll join with Ááyin.

[Arayaz]

*emerges from hibernation*

Might join with Thagya ... but probably don't have the time.

[Arayaz]

If I can get put in in late May or early June, I'll definitely join (again, with Thagya).
