For us who don't read Cadhinor (and my Verdurian is still more limited
than my Farsi), would you tell what the message means, especially that
"turascurrao"? Hope it will give us all something new to think about.
The disaster of the WTC towers has certainly made us all somewhat
paranoid.
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>Sure. Here's a translation:</i>
<blockquote>
I was in my place of work, when I heard that the United States had been
savagely attacked. Someone turned on the television, and many workers
watched for hours. We saw fire and smoke and broken brick. We saw
the towers of the World Trade Center crumble. We didn't know what to think.
<p>I hope that leaders will be sensible. Nobody wants a third World War.
</blockquote>
<i>For 'hope' Philip used <b>turascurrao</b>, which is a calque on
Verdurian <b>chascurec</b>, literally 'hold [the] flame.' A modern
Verdurian could catch or even use this, but I'm afraid Emperor Ervëa
wouldn't. :) But the lexicon (though at over 2000 words it's the largest
after Verdurian) doesn't yet have a word for 'hope'.
