jacērja

jaceerja

jacērja

The third sentence of the LCC4 relay text:

ñamma jacērja ja semme jasōri rēha ā λi tānre ma ñi malāmen;

This one has two relative clauses! The main clause is ñamma jacērja and the agent referred to in ñamma is renamed in ā λi tānre. jacērja means “choice” or “decision”. So “Tānre made a choice” or “Tānre chose”.

The first relative clause is ja semme jasōri rēha and it modifies jacērja, thus detailing the choice that Tānre made. semme is se plus a 3rd person source and a 3rd person beneficiary, jasōri “words” is the object of se, and rēha is a future marker. The choice, then is for someone (Tānre) to give someone else (the pretty woman) words, or to say something to someone.

So far we have: Tānre made a choice to say something to her.

I will tackle the second relative clause tomorrow.

jawālīke

jawaaliike

jawālīke

The next sentence in the 15th Conlang Relay Text:

wā sexe jawālīke to jajāra jaxūna;

jawālīke means “close observation” and is used also for research and study. As an object of se, which is here inflected with a 3rd person plural beneficiary/experiencer, this means “they experienced close observation”. The wā particle at the beginning of the sentence negates the sentence, so this part is “they did not experience close observation”. The thing observed or experienced in indicated by the to phrase, which I will discuss tomorrow.

In the original sentence, I used the word jatawāla instead of jawālīke. jatawāla does not currently exist in my dictionary, though it is in the spreadsheet of possible words.
