'''Warming Up to You'''
Toiréir Gruaid
[...]
Though I know you will wither as a corpse, [Or: Even when you have withered as a corpse]
I still gladly bask in your warmth, [Or: I would still bask in memories of your warmth]
For the same warmth nurtures curiosity,
The leaves of knowledge -
A garden that you have planted in this plot of land,
and forever will keep.

Warming Up to You
Toiréir Gruaid

Though I know you will wither as a corpse, [Or: Even when you have withered as a corpse]
I still gladly bask in your warmth, [Or: I would still bask in memories of your warmth]
For the same warmth nurtures curiosity,
The leaves of knowledge -
A garden that you have planted in this plot of land,

Notes

  • Tíogall is a VSO language that allows topicalization. Morphosyntax is ergative in the preterite tense, and accusative in other tenses. For more details, see the Tíogall page.
  • The formal way of forming the possessive "X of Y" is X-CONST Y, but the construction an X le Y is also valid and is more common in informal speech.
  • To turn adjectives into adverbs, it is normally required to use go + [ADJECTIVE], but poems may omit the go.
  • -na or -ne is normally an emphatic clitic; it can be added in poetry for metrical reasons.
  • The following pairs of vowels are considered to be the same for the purposes of rhyming: /ɪ iː ɛ eː/ = /ʏ yː œ øː/
