the jabberwocky in chinook j.

[Nenad Aliicx]

the jabberwocky is an absolutely nonsense poem
and so no wonder if the translation is also full
perfect nonsense .
hope the translation to chinook didn't result in
something more sensefull .

the translation is based on a tok pisin version ,
which is based on two different esperanto translation
from the english original .

okok wowoglotowo

yagwa paia pe glagla haiyas lali ankati
kata ka halo , ya kokshat , ya peltau
sik tamtam tenas pitli yaka tamasawi
haiyas wehat haiyas mamuk wawa wau wau

haiyas wehat haiyas mamuk wawa wau wau
