| Message | OOC: If "Kumaijo" became a verb, then the action is "Kumaijogad". |

| Message | OOC: This is English's fault for using the same for the continual and the noun. |

| Message | OOC: Interesting - so it'd roughly translate as Girl Chase (n)., rather than Girl Chasing (v).? |

| Message | OOC: The literal translation of "Kyz Kymaijogad" (NB. Noun capitalised) would be "Girl Chase" but we would translate it as "Girl Chasing" into English as it sounds more natural (like the sports "Hurling" and "Curling"). "Kyz kymaijozuo" (NB. verb form not capitalised) would be better translated into English as "is chasing girls" at the end of the sentence. Again, I speak from the Old High Jelbic position. Things get lost, corrupted and all sorts as languages evolve, so if you want to make the -gad/-jad forms formal or archaic in Modern Jelbic and use "Kymaijogad" (capitalised) as the noun and "kymaijogad" (lowercase) as the verb, that's in keeping with >1000 years of in-game language evolution! |
