Heh. Thanks to <lj user="alcarilinque"></lj> for the idea. I found it in his LJ after following a comment he left in a previous post on throat singing.
- Last and first syllables switched
- Ait at beginning of sentence.
- Alternate sic and tum between words
- iam at end.
- Poetic Rules apply (erunt -&gt; ere, poetic plurals, &amp;c. Elision gets ruined by sic/tum)
- Add suffix -it to non-conjugated/declined words and conjugated/declined words of one syllable (don't switch last/first)
- 'Impossible' consonant clusters, insert y
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catalina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet?
--&gt;
Aitquo sic queus tum emdytamit sic rebutera, tum Atalinaca, sic atientipa tum rastynoiam? Aitquam sic udi tum amytie sic orfur tum teis sic ustu tum sic nosit tum etyludeiam?
It's like a steganographic artlang from Latin ^^ I'm a geek, but forgive me, I just took a history final. Now I truly am done with school :o)
