It looks like the language is Germanic.finlay wrote:Here's another possible transcription:
ik had en openbarun (I had a revelation)
got stud efor ik (God stood before me)
he sa (:) ik eksisti nix (he said?? : I exist not)
so ik beglefi nix got (so i believe not God)
ik vet he eksisti nix (I think he exists not)
I can't really work out half of this.
ninja edit: oh right, it was because I thought "goat" instead of "God".
tes var en bindar (this was a farmer)
he had fil tire (he had many animals)
XX heste (XX horses - I think -e is a plural marker incidentally)
XX kue (XX cows)
XX svine (XX pigs)
en kat (a cat)
total XX tire (total XX animals)
tes var en ban (This was a man)
tes var en bi (This was a bee)
te bi saget "bsss" (The bee said "Bzzz")
te bi stak te ban (The bee stung the man)
te ban saget "aaa" (The man said "Aaa")
Going by that assumption, I notice several things, like there's a strong verb stak "stung" ("stuck"?) in the third one.
I also see some sound changes there:
*þ > t
*m > b (judging from ban "man")
All this is tentative of course, but yeah. Hope I've done something useful
