24 Sep 01 - 03:10 AM (#557495) Subject: A bit of hymnic braggadocio From: Haruo I am bragging to everybody, why should Mudcat be exempt? I just received a copy of the new Esperanto-language ecumenical hymnal Adoru (copublished by the International Catholic Union of Esperantists, IKUE, and the International Christian Esperantist League, KELI [a predominantly Protestant group]) and it has 13½ of my pieces in it, to wit (with links to my online hymnal's relevant pages):
Three of these are songs I wrote myself (the rest are translations); and Charles Wesley himself is only represented by three items, which makes me feel very very superior. If you know anybody (e.g. college or cathedral libraries) that collects significant off-the-beaten-path hymnals, by all means recommend they get Adoru. It's about 1450 pages, and only about $19 (20 euros, I think) - well worth the investment for anyone not afraid of non-English texts (it's a good source of Polish, Hungarian, Finnish and Czech materials, e.g., contains an interesting mass from Korea, etc. etc. As well as (not to brag or anything) 13½ pieces from the pen or keyboard of yours truly, Liland |

14 Jan 02 - 11:01 AM (#627626) Subject: RE: A bit of hymnic braggadocio From: Ringer I don't recall ever having seen Esperanto in print before, Liland. One of the only two things I know about Esperanto is that its name means, or is derived from, "Hope". Now, since Esperanto is a made-up language (that's the other), does it actually need accents on certain letters? I think (perhaps it's my Anglo-centricity showing itself) that if I made up a language, I'd make darn sure it didn't need them. |

14 Jan 02 - 02:41 PM (#627810) Subject: RE: A bit of hymnic braggadocio From: Haruo Actually, Bald Eagle, no Esperanto letter has an accent mark on it. I know that sounds like a blatant lie, but it's actually the truth. In Esperanto c and ĉ are two separate letters (just as in English we don't call Q as "O with a tail"). But they sure the heck look like accent marks, and they sure the heck have caused printers, typesetters, and HTML artists (prior to Unicode) egregious headaches. I agree that if I'd been devising the language in the first place I would have stuck to the standard Latin alphabet. Liland |

14 Jan 02 - 02:50 PM (#627819) Subject: RE: A bit of hymnic braggadocio From: Haruo FYI, FWIW, the non-Latin Esperanto letters are Ĉ ĉ, Ĝ ĝ, Ĥ ĥ, Ĵ ĵ, Ŝ ŝ, and Ŭ ŭ. Esperanto does *not* use Q W X or Y, though x is a common way of saying "previous letter should have a 'supersigno'" in email and similar media. E.g. "ĉiun ĵaŭdon ŝi eĥas ĝemon", meaning "every Thursday she echoes a sigh", in email often looks like "cxiun jxauxdon sxi ehxas gxemon"... And if Bill D (I think it was - or Catspaw for that matter) sees this, I think I am making some progress towards a Unicode number for schwa. :-) Liland |

I'm sure you don't want to write an Esperanto primer, but just for my interest could you give some indication of how ĉiun ĵaŭdon ŝi eĥas ĝemon would sound? And, for contrast, how ciun jaudon ehas gemon ditto. |
