Je půlnoc kopřiv a půlnoc kopru, který promítá na černou oblohu své zlaté okolíky.

It is the night of nettles and dill, which projects its golden umbels onto the black sky.

Zpropadeně Meluzíno Ty ještě nemáš večeři a já mám schůzku s kukuřičným polem Dalo mi klíček od komůrky Uvař rychle nějakou hvězdu Poklidím lípám

Damn you, Melusine Dinner’s not ready yet and I have a meeting with the corn field It gave me a key to its chamber Quickly, cook up a star I will clean up after the linden trees

From Jiří Kolář’s debut Křestný list.

Jindřich Chalupecký wrote about it:

But what immediately surprised me was the peculiar character of Kolář’s idiom. It was neither literary, nor colloquial. It used the ordinary speech of ordinary people, which is not fixed and defined by literary norms, but while this language is usually used in literature to create contrast, in Kolář’s debut, it was the starting point of the poem. The vernacular interested Kolář because it eludes the function of a mere instrument of conveying information: it is also the subject of constant linguistic play, which by disrupting the outer form of language revives its structures and keeps it plastic to bring it back to reality and life.

The translation of the poem really is merely illustrative. There is no way to translate the beautiful zpropadeně and to keep the reminiscence of folk songs in dalo mi klíček od komůrky, and the familiarity and domesticity of ty ještě nemáš večeři... Great poetry really is untranslateable.

Jiří Kolář: rukopis Prométheových jater (za který byl několik měsíců vězněn) | manuscript of Liver of Prometheus (for which he spent several months in prison) Světy Jindřicha Chalupeckého | The Worlds of Jinřich Chalupecký: exhibition in Prague City Gallery (16. 3. 2022 – 19. 6. 2022)

“What is done by today’s journalists, editors in publishing houses and political officials in editorial offices and ministries, the destruction of books, constant purges not only in second-hand bookshops, public libraries, but also societies and institutes, can only be called ‘the gassing of spirit’, and from here it is only a step, if it is not being done already, only a step to mass murder, to mass murder itself.”

The word Welsh comes from the Old English wealh meaning ‘foreigner; slave’, and interestingly, this is also where the first part of the word walnut comes from. 🐿️

Interesting etymologies: part 2

Some words in different languages beginning with al- which are borrowings from Arabic (e.g. alcohol, algebra, alchemy, algorithm) are actually the result of reanalysis.

In this case, al is originally an article in Arabic, preceding the word itself (so e.g. al + kuḥl → alcohol, al + jabr → algebra), but it was reanalysed as one word in the process of borrowing.

The word algorithm comes from al Ḵwārizmī, a name of a Persian mathematician.

In the case of admiral, the original boundary was between the word and the article following it, i.e. amīr + al, because it was a military title often followed by another noun (‘commander of + noun’). The reanalysis was also influenced by the Latin suffix -alis. (This is, however, only a theory “not borne out by the textual evidence in either Arabic or the Western languages”, according to the OED.)
