Fifth Linguifex Relay

The Fifth Linguifex Relay was a conlang relay, a game of conlingual telephone, on Linguifex. The relay text was written in Tíogall by the relaymaster IlL. The text passed through eleven translations before being retranslated into Tíogall.

Texts

The original text was provided by IlL in his Tíogall language. The text is a love poem written by a (Tíogall equivalent of a) high school girl, perhaps for posting on a fanfiction website to represent her preferred shipping of the character Toiréir Gruaid with the male scientist character Stearras Nátsa. The poem uses the Burns stanza, which is not uncommon in Tíogall poetry.

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.

You are the supreme and most powerful chieftain, You came to me, across my seas which are distant.

All of this has happened because that tree had toppled everything around it there.  (**Note: there is no differentiation from "custom" and "law" in tribal Minhast society)
