tēna
tēna
is a modifier that follows nouns and pronouns and means, basically, each one in a set. So, for a set of two it means both, and for a set of more than two, each. It can only modify dual and paucal pronouns and collective nouns. In the Kēlen rephrasal of the 1st article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this word occurs twice, once in the first clause and once in the second.
In the first clause, tēna modifies mēli manaren, a noun phrase consisting of the collective form of mēla followed by the collective pronoun/modifier manaren ‘everyone’. So, mēli manaren tēna ‘each one of all people.’
In the second clause, tēna modifies ñēim, a first person paucal (collective) inclusive pronoun, so again, ‘each one of all of us’.
Today’s word plus yesterday’s:
tō la mēli manaren tēna ñe anhēnārīki anīλi jañāona jañēie
tō pa ñēim tēna ē lenārre ē lewēren
tō jāo hēja senneñ anēla anciēri ke mān mo mīþa
ien sexe mo maþūskīri mo sāim maþūskīriēma cī;
tō … tō jāo
Because all the cool kids are doing it, I am going to spend the next 10 posts discussing the Kēlen rephrasal of the 1st article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After that, I’ll continue with some more emotions. So, here goes:
tō … tō jāo
This is a coordinating conjunction that is formal and somewhat old-fashioned in usage. The first part (tō) introduces a clause (X) and the second part (tō jāo) introduces clause Y, and together denote that because of X, therefore Y, or X therefore Y.
The Kēlen rephrasal consists of 4 clauses, the first two of which are introduced by tō and the third introduced by tō jāo with the fourth clause subordinate to the third.
So you’ll know what’s coming:
tō la mēli manaren tēna ñe anhēnārīki anīλi jañāona jañēie
tō pa ñēim tēna ē lenārre ē lewēren
tō jāo hēja senneñ anēla anciēri ke mān mo mīþa
ien sexe mo maþūskīri mo sāim maþūskīriēma cī;
jatēpa
jatēpa
jatēpa the noun means lack, loss, something that is not there that might otherwise be there. As a feeling, it refers to the feeling of lacking something, generally human company; so, alone, lonely.
tele jatēpa tō jāo ñi rātāsa;
I felt lonely so I went to the marketplace.
