Here is a little curious inquiry for all of us to ponder

[Sky Campbell]

The only thing that springs to mind for me is to express something along the lines of "Whatever it is, I really want to know it." in an attempt to get at the heart of what curious is (times 2 hehehe).

 

Dagure'sų ihapunge hagundasji ke.

 

I could render it as "Whatever it is, I don't know what it is.  But I really want to." but that feels a bit cumbersome.

Ho, Mark!  Pi dana ke shige ho ritawe hanax^un ke.

 

I find the quote to be rather curious.  However, I haven’t any immediate thoughts that come to me as to how one would render it in Baxoje – Jiwere.  In part, the problem with any effective translation of this quote, is the lack of context.  Just what is becoming evermore curious?  The answer is not yours to give, but it does await clarification of Mr. William Wolkowki and for what application does he want a translation of this Alice in Wonderland statement.

 

Meanwhile, vaya bien  en su tratamiento y su cura de su enfermidad.  Híne  bróge  rígrahiwi ke.  Wakánda nat^úrigradan mína ho.

ALICE IN OMAHA

 

Dear Colleague,

For the sesquicentennial in 2015

I am preparing a polyglot graphic study

of this quote from chapter 2

in Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

"Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice"

If you wish to include it in this study,

would you please help me

with a translation?

Thank you.

Best regards

Wolkowski
