∞

tysm!!!!! the song was I Become Silver by Fiskur, which actually doesnt have any lyrics anywhere online but heres my best attempt at transcription:

All my fears forgotten, writing's on the wall as we tumble into trouble, i didn't hear you fall

put a "∞" in my ask box and I'll shuffle my music player and give you my favorite lyric from the song that comes up.

Day 1

Getting to know Tórshavn

Very nice book shop & café in this red building

Also good fish & chips place near it, Vaglid 5, Tórshavn, Streymoy 100 Faroe Islands, Fiskur v. kipsi was 95kr

Hey all, fiskur here!

Why am I here? We don't know.

How did I get here? We also don't know that.

Do I even exist? Yeah, I guess.

The next stop on the tour of Orekanav is the basics of nouns. I really like the idea of the end of the nouns changing based on the nature of the noun, e.g. älg (moose) vs. älgen (the moose) vs. älgar (meese) vs. älgarna (the meese) in Swedish, or changing based on its role in the sentence, e.g. hún á fisk (she has a fish) vs. fiskur á hana (a fish has her) in Icelandic. I decided to do a simple version of this, where you just add a number of letters on the end of the noun to indicate all that (though if the noun ends in a vowel, that vowel is usually replaced.) I think in the languages that descend from this I will change the rules on this a bit and add some exceptions to the rules just to make it feel more natural.

For those unfamiliar, the nominative and the accusative cases are kind of like the subject and the object of a sentence, the genitive case is like possession (e.g. the cat's paw, or the hills of the South Downs), the instrumental case is like something being used (e.g. he played music with a flute), the dative case (in Orekanav at least) is like an indirect object (e.g. they gave a pen to Alex), and the locative case is like where something is (e.g. Edd lives with Jamie in an apartment).

I have also made a special lil optional article at the end of words which indicates a relative sort of age (Old or New), but culturally when referring to people, it more often refers to some sort of seniority or social rank.

The next fun fact for this language is that its grammatical genders are inanimate and animate, though none of the nouns in Orekanav are set in one gender or the other. Rather, the animacy that a person assigns to a given word forms part of the way the person views that object, and part of the way the person is trying to interpret that object in the given context. For example, someone might describe rivers as animate to evoke a poetic metaphor about its flow, or describe a silent person as inanimate to emphasise their stillness.

Lasciati tentare da questo meraviglioso connubio dove la #pastaitaliana si lascia avvolgere dalla panna islandese #rjóma amalgamata con l’affumicato salmone islandese #fiskur profumato da una leggera macinata di #pepenero. Buon appetito! #gjörðusvovel (presso Milli Vina Guesthouse)
