Papyrus

Post by Reyzadren »

:eng: English
Ancient Egyptians developed papyrus, the earliest form of writing paper, around 2400 B.C. To make papyrus, the Egyptians first placed strips of pith (or sliced plant trunk) side by side.

I decided on Silvish's term for BC for this translation, and I'm really digging it. Fully written out, it's avan Jezuccritti (before Jesus Christ), and then it gets abbreviated to av. Jci

Kankonian:

Egiptikes yughela *esen slibrim zash kolos tri kals ad luimash ad ekhet veye 2400 kinek khezke. Ad hami id slibrim, Egiptikes inam we irkomen frelithes na pezeth reres stak az kapilizen na vare telnet.

Note: kinek, or K is the first letter in the Kankonian word kaluk, meaning before. Khezke, or KH, is the first letter in Khristos.

I did that without needing to coin any new words nor grammar rules!

Ancient Egyptians developed papyrus, the earliest form of writing paper, around 2400 B.C. To make papyrus, the Egyptians first placed strips of pith (or sliced plant trunk) side by side.

New words for this challenge:
geptanian [gəˈpanɪ̯ɐn] - Ancient Egyptian
Etymology: from gepta "Ancient Egypt", from the Semitic root *gpt, whence also the English term "Egyptian". The word is different from the Yélian word for modern Egypt, which is mayra (from Modern Arabic مصر maṣr "Egypt").

papírinos [pɐˈpiːɾɨnɔ̈ʃ] - papyrus
Etymology: unlike the English term, it doesn't derive from Ancient Greek πάπυρος, but from Ancient Greek παπύρινος "made of papyrus", the reason for that is unknown.

kokofoinik/cocofoinic [kɔ̈kɔ̈ˈfɔʊ̯nɨk] - coconut palm
Etymology: from Greek κοκοφοίνικας kokofoínikas.

in addition to the text to be translated I could use it as a definition of the Nile, the Papyrus (the plant), Papyrus (the material), the Hieroglyphs and the ancient Egyptians...
