[/lit/thread/25396989#p25422140] >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxYoFlnJLoE [Embed] >'The Poor Man of Nippur' in Akkadian with subtitles in English and other languages. The only thing I don't get is why the professor in the beginning says māt Akkadi 𒆳𒌵𒆠, literally 'land of Akkad' if the subtitles say 'land of Babylonia'.

people in the last thread were talking about Arabic and how it lacks good content, but I wonder are Persian and Turkish better?

https://github.com/eggrobin/EnmerkarAbsolute madmen actually made an IME keyboard layout for typing cuneiform languages for Windows and IME.To test it out, I typed the transliteration of Ur brick 90009 shown in Hayes' Manual of Sumerian:𒀭𒋀𒆠 𒈗𒀀𒉌 𒌨𒀭𒇉 𒈗𒋀𒀊𒆠𒈠𒆤 𒂍𒀀𒉌 𒈬𒈾𒆕 𒂦𒋀𒀊𒆠𒈠 𒈬𒈾𒆕It works a lot like Chinese IME input except the position of signs is fixed according to the established Assyriologist numbering system instead of relative frequency of use. You can quickly select the required sign by typing in the digit or using arrows.

I took the first 11 verses from Matthew 2, to give a concrete example of what "advanced" grammar are there as exercise for the LLPSI student. The point is that pretty much every verse, you can point to a subjunctive verb or something.>1 Cum ergo natus esset Jesus in Bethlehem Juda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce magi ab oriente venerunt Jerosolymam,Cum-clause with pluperfect subjunctive.>2 dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Judaeorum? vidimus enim stellam ejus in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.Purpose clause with infinitive instead of an "ut" clause. Less orthodox grammar, but also easier for budding young readers.>3 Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Jerosolyma cum illo.I'm not sure how late the perfective passive was introduced, but aside from that, there is "audiens Herodes rex,' which is a non-intuitive construction for English-speakers and needs to be reinforced by many examples.>4 Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.Indirect question with subjunctive.>5 At illi dixerunt: In Bethlehem Judae: sic enim scriptum est per prophetam:Direct quotation instead of indirect speech.>6 Et tu Bethlehem terra Juda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Juda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.Relative clause with subjunctive.>7 Tunc Herodes clam vocatis magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellae, quae apparuit eis:Maybe no "advanced" grammatical constructions by LLPSI standards, but we're learning the word "clam.">8 et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renuntiate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.Future perfect. Ut+subjunctive.9 Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt, et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usque dum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.Cum with pluperfect tense. Pluperfect indicative. Dum with imperfect subjunctive.10 Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.Deponent verb.11 Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre ejus, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.Ablative absolute.

Old Norse seems fun, and not terribly hard, but the size of its corpus is offputting

I'm finding the later parts of LLPSI somewhat easier. I remember being very frustrated at chapter 6, 8, 10, then it started to get better and easier for me

if anyone for some reason enjoys both latin and project zomboid, i whored both google gemini, tokenly; and myself spirtually, out over a short period translating the game into latin. 99% of all the translation was done with ai, there is no credit to be had here but enjoy it if you want to https://limewire.com/d/dLahS#IWhSbDqagP make a folder in steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\Translate called 'LA' and place in all the files except 'fonts.txt' and all the zomboid .pngs. in steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\fonts make a folder called 'LA' and drop in the 'fonts.txt' file and inside make four folders titled '1x', '2x', 3x', '4x' and each one should have one set of 'zomboidLarge.fnt', 'zomboidLarge_0.png'; 'zomboidMedium.fnt', 'zomboidMedium_0.png'; and 'zomboidSmall.fnt', 'zomboidSmall_0.png'. it should work. i'll continue working on it, and should any feedback pop into existence i will take heed of it

I am now moving onto a research masters in Classics, specifically Greek Philosophy, but now I'm genuinely struggling to work out how people even identify research gaps in this field. It feels like every word of Plato and Aristotle has already been minutely dissected and I don't feel like I could possibly add anything new.
