So my study of Latin has officially concluded, as of about a week ago. I’m glad to be done with it, but at the same time it was a tremendous learning experience. I now have several pages of notes taken at various times during the past year and a half with ideas for how that learning can be applied to Draványa. It’ll take time to work through that an integrate it with existing material.
Some time back (years, now) I wrote up several pages of Draványa “grammar,” only some of which (the historical parts) have ever been seen on the web, because it’s honestly pretty shaky. I now have a much firmer grounding in the subject, so I’ll be revisiting that, with an eye toward keeping as much of the existing naming structures in place as possible – they were, after all, painstakingly constructed. Alas, it also means that one major document, the Arashálinu Enáthaga, long considered finished and used as a scaffold to hang other historical events on, must now also be revisited, and modified to reflect the updated linguistic data. That’s going to be a big pain.
Ytherra.com will be back, but meanwhile I’ll be posting stuff here, so stay tuned. There’s also some system work I’ve been doing that will be along (hopefully) shortly as well.
