“Welcome, Leland!”
Notes: This post was preempted by my post about the 2010 Smiley Award, which itself preempted my post about Sylvia’s birthday, and then it was preempted again by Caturday (which, of course, preempts all), but now there’s nothing to preempt it!
Back on the first, Leland Paul Kusmer started a brand new project which sounds fascinating. It’s called the Monthly Conlang Project. He’s going to learn a new conlang every month with the intention of being able to translate a short piece (or two) into that conlang at the end of it. For the his first month, he’s chosen to learn Kamakawi.
In the meantime, I’m going to try my darnedest to expand what information is available for Kamakawi online (especially the vocabulary in the lexicon and corpus). And, what’s more, I’m going to actually really do it this time, as opposed to just saying that I’m going to actually really do it.
That’s the goal, anyway. I make no promises, in case I’m called upon to fight in some sort of gigantic space war. I’m led to believe that these things not only can happen, but have happened. Many times.
In the past few weeks.
Probably.
