Vladislav Markovich Illich-Svitych | Nostratic Language (original) (raw)

A poem in reconstructed Nostratic
composed by the late great Nostraticist
Vladislav Markovich Illich-Svitych:

Tongue time-of water-of path/ford gone-of dwelling-to us lead(s) he but there-to come(s) no(t) which-who fear(s) deep water

Language is a ford through the river of time It leads us to the dwelling of those gone ahead But he does not arrive there Who is afraid of deep water

Note: /\ is an uncertain vowel, K is k/q, the . under a stop consonant (t, k,) denotes a glottalized consonant.
