Morning, DiC! :hug: Been to see my GP. She prescribed me an anti-emetic. She also told me I have a virus, so I just have to wait out this infernal cold and just treat the symptoms as best I can. Apparently there's one going around that gets better, then worse, then better, then worse. Ugh.

 

Anyway, hope you all have a nice day!

Glad it passed. Hoping mine will go away sooner rather than later. At least with the anti-emetic I may be able to eat a bit more. Feed a cold, isn't that what they say? :P 

 

Good quote, btw, though I'm not sure I entirely agree... At least I think there's more to it. I think good art is a dialogue. It's about the story we want to tell, and how the readers react to and interpret that story. There's a bit of me in everything I write. So, yeah, it's about us. Just my opinion, though. :)

The quote is Okri's opinion...just something to think about.

@MacGreg Homemade Chicken Soup. My cure-all. It should help you.

What? No reminders of bone-in?

reading a book called The Adventure of English.. the beginnings of this amazing language

What does it say?

  Reveal hidden contents

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed by Thy name.

 

And later this...

 

And forgyf us ure gyltas, swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

 

Forgyf/forgive; gyltas (guilts)/trespasses.

 

Guessing it's the beginning of The Lord's Prayer? It's actually really similar to Norse...

It uses the Norse symbols for the th sound. ð is th as in 'this'. þ is th as in 'forth'. I could also read it quite easily based on my knowledge of Norwegian, Swedish and (a little bit of) Icelandic. I think Gaelic is actually further removed from old English than Norse is.

The Lord's Prayer in Gaelic:

Spoiler

Ár nAthair, atá ar neamh: go naofar d'ainm.

Go dtaga do ríocht.

Go ndéantar do thoil ar talamh

mar a dhéantar ar neamh.

Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu,

agus maith dúinn ár bhfiacha,

mar a mhaithimid dár bhféichiúnaithe féin.

Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú,

ach saor sinn ó olc.

[Óir is leatsa an Ríocht agus an Chumhacht

agus an Ghlóir, trí shaol na saol.]

Áiméan.

 

In Old Norse:

Spoiler

Faþer vár es ert í himenríki, verði nafn þitt hæilagt.

Til kome ríke þitt, værði vili þin

sva a iarðu sem í himnum.

Gef oss í dag brauð vort dagligt,

Ok fyr gefþu oss synþer órar,

sem vér fyr gefom þeim er viþ oss hafa misgert

Leiðd oss eigi í freistni, heldr leys þv oss frá öllu illu.

 

And in Norn, which was spoken in Shetland:

Spoiler

Fy vor or er i Chimeri. Halaght vara nam dit.

La Konungdum din cumma. La vill din vera guerde

i vrildin sindaeri chimeri.

Gav vus dagh u dagloght brau. Forgive sindorwara

sin vi forgiva gem ao sinda gainst wus.

Lia wus ikè o vera tempa, but delivra wus fro adlu idlu.

For do i ir Kongungdum, u puri, u glori, Amen

 

 

I love linguistics! :D
