VMS - Language Families Casting

[Gavin Güldenpfennig]

Please watch your language, Gavin. We're running a forum with civil discussions here and trying to keep it that way. 

@KoenG

You´re right, words like that one are not necessary, sorry for that.

What I was trying to say, is that there is no real connection between their method and mine.

Concerning the interesting Levenshtein distance thing, maybe it can help us.

How much do this two sentences vary from each other? Please test it!


Sentence 1:

Uns ist in alten mæren wunders vil geseit von helden lobebæren, von grôʒer arebeit, von fröuden, hôchgezîten, von weinen und von klagen, von küener recken strîten muget ír nu wunder hœren sagen.

Sentence 2:



Uns wurde in alten Erzählungen viel Wundersames gesagt von ruhmreichen Helden, von großem Leid, von Freuden, Festen, von Weinen und von Klagen, vom Kampf kühner Recken sollt ihr nun Wunder hören sagen.

You´re right, I have made a mistake in the N - use, I will edit this in my example as soon as possible.

In the manuscript seem to be three different "N". The one in "Nirfeor" is a "ñ" and also the one in "hinoy" is that letter. But there seem to be a difference in use between them. The first one is used as a normal letter in the word, the second one is a meaning marker....it shows us that there is beginning a new word...."ñoy"

The third N, for example in "eank" is a normal "n".

The affixes and suffixes of "horr" I have explained in the picture under this post.

Attention (!!!)

1. I have already mentioned, that their is a handwriting identification problem with the "h" and "ir" - sounds, which are sometimes the same symbol, as it seems.

2. There is no "f" in today´s Basque, so it would be logical, if it wouldn´t exist in the old versions, too. Even it could be, that nobody would write it. So if someone, who knows the "f", would read and edit the VMS text, it could be possible, that he would write it as a correction above the old word.
