Balrog SPeech
AN INTRODUCION
|
Classcial Blarog has some 57 "tenses" and 19 "moods," all of them nasty. (Count) And 23 injunctions, doesn't it? (Öjevind) Not to mention a great deal of stress -- all on the wrong syllable. (MOM) | |
&#$gthu4587#^* |
"gobbledygook" (often used as a derogative for elvish) |
| #@@#^@&@*# #@&$@#*@(# #&(*@# @(#(@#*@(# @&#@#(@# &@(#@(# @#@$($%)$#$ @()#@(#&@(#@# @&*$#&@# #@(&$@#(@&#$#@$@$#@##@(#@#@#!! | "Maz the annopzing elf psuh you into the foutnain!" (often used to express discust at pitifully underdeveloped mortal tongues, and their speakers.) |
| #$ &*$&#@ | A slimy, squeazy, flammable snake toy that Rogs play with in their first century of two of existence. Da fangs is qyoot! |
| @#@#@#%#%@#@# ^&@&^@ @^&@^&#@# | "Space-time continuum," to translate into rather ugly mlorat language. Bha! Each Rog "year" is 547 hmunsa years (why? why not). Count Tildanor was born in 64 Second Age, and according to this note is 14, 550 hmunsa ayears and a little over 27 Rog years. (Was the Second Age that recent?) |
| #^$#$&#$#&%#@#@%^#@#$@#@# | Roggish for waht the Elves clla Utumno in their ginorance. |
| @%#^$@%#&@%#%@&#%#@#@ | Roggish for "Count" - or at least, the title of The Count in Roggish. I don't think Balrogs particularly respect counties. |
| #@%@$#^%$@^%# | Soccer, which among Balrogs was an ephemeral sport played with Elves or Dwarves until these disintegrated. |
| ^$#%#&$%#@ and $*#&$# |
Apparently Balrog has two words correLponding to English "magic", and these mean completely different things. But there are bropablz in fact severla more wrods ... |
| %$%&(/=()=(=/&/&%$$ &%/$$ &%/&/(&(!! | "My blue penguin trasks a pink banana." (This is of curse very approximative; and the dialect is rather obscure.) The saying originates from an amuzzling incarnating-party in Antarctica held by the Angband Brothers.
If you change the final ! into that broken straigth line that I canh't find on the number pad just now, the meaning cahnges to "... lilac banana ...", which has completely different connotations. |
| @^##^@^#&@#@ | Teh lcosest thnig Balrogs ahve to "cheese", it is obtained fro hobbit gutsby drak arts in a sikrit lpace. Naozne ho dare wear it in oublic is immediately unbodied in a peculaiarly painful waz. But taht enver cautallz ahppened acos no Rog wd be so unamnnerly. (It may have something to do with the fact that @^##^@^#&@#@ smells like an Orc's laundry basket). |
| ^#^$*^$*^@*$@ | A Balrog's appendices - knot wings in the borign anatomical snese, but WAZ clloer and more elegant, and we have them when we want. We're knot walazs in the moond. |
