Since I did so many landscape terms while on my vacation, I decided to now do the ones I didn’t do then.*
*I can say that in Kēlen! (translating the object of NI as something coming into existence, so ‘make done’ and having the abstract pronoun jāo stand in for whatever that was.)
ñalla jacērja ja āl ñalla jāo ja wā ñalla jāo il anniþen;
I’ve decided that now I make done what I did not make done before.

ruby, corundum. In English, we call red corundum “ruby” and all the other colors (blue, yellow, etc) “sapphire”. In Kēlen, it’s a little different, and all corundum is “ruby”, with blue corundum being ansīweta ancōra “blue ruby”, and yellow corundum being ansīweta ancēlne “pale ruby”.

This quarter I am taking two classes, and they are both reading and thinking intensive, plus homework. So, after a few more minerals, I might do something really simple, like numbers, except with numbers, I’d want to talk about variant forms and symbology (such as it is). So, any suggestions? I could do metals and maybe other chemicals and bring you interesting wikipedia pics, or landscape terms, or ???
