Hi y’all! Just a quick heads up that I will be on vacation, and traveling without devices, for the next month or so. I’ve got my queue set to run at a reduced rate, so you won’t be without that sweet Sumerian content in the meantime. But I won’t be able to answer any new questions or reply to any messages until December (this means there may be a lead time of multiple months before any asks get answered). Thank you for your patience, and wish me luck on my travels!

Silim! Kaskalngu ituddaha, idibda numea, hebzuzunzen. Kashdalangu lal, anaam ningshabiemegirasag ibtutkenzen. Annga inimduagibilzunene Decembershe nubgigin (ena itudhiata namga zalenden, inimdua ibgigin). Lusuudngalmenzen, sagbi gangen!

I’m on my way back from hiatus! In the meantime, since some have asked for a breakdown of the Sumerian version, here it is.

• Silim “hello”
• Kaskal “journey, trip”, -ngu “my”, itud “month”, -dah “next, the next”, idib “device, contrivance”, -da numea “without”, hebzuzunzen “be aware!” from zu “to know” = “Be aware of my journey next month without devices”
• Kashda “line, order”, lal “to reduce, diminish”, anaam “therefore”, ningshabi “content(s)”, emegi® “Sumerian”, sag “good, sweet, pleasant”, ibtutkenzen “you (will) have” from tuku “to have” = “I have reduced my queue, therefore you will (still) have the sweet Sumerian content”
• Annga “however”, inimdua “message”, gibil “new”, -zunene “y’all’s”, -she “until (terminative case)”, nubgigin “I don’t answer” from gi “to answer” = “However, I won’t answer y’all’s messages until December”
• Ena “when, once”, -hia “multiple”, namga “maybe”, zalenden from zal “to pass time”, ibgigin “I answer it” = “Once we have passed maybe multiple months, I will answer them“
• Lu “people”, suudngal “patient”, -menzen “y’all are” = “Y’all are patient people” i.e. “Thank you for being patient”
• Sagbi “pleasantly”, gangen “may I go” = “May I travel pleasantly!”
