Philology of New Borneo

Preliminary philological researches into the traditional language of New Borneo have revealed a rich grammar and syntax.

Initial investigation suggests a high complexity of verb forms, covering the following tenses:

Prevalent
Suture
Indigent
Carpet
Aerialist
Pupillate.

A Post-Pupillate is implied but not yet demonstrated.

The following Moods have been identified:

Vindictive
Consumptive
Decorative.

Each Mood is known in four Forms:

Actual
Plastic
Conjugal
Refractive.

The language is inflected. These Cases have been recognised:

Normative

Palliative

It is believed that Laxative and Evocative Cases are also present, although their form has not yet practically been distinguished from the Accumulative.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination

The Works of Edgar Allan PO37

Road And Destination Unknown

(for Radu Malfatti)

The ill-made man

Is a cavalier

Of evil facts

The steel-toothed speaker

His black/white grille mouth

Its chart of pulls

Its handguide twinkling

In the silent score

Riot and drama unstated

He breathes twice

Through a fingerprint on the hinges of his lungs

And creaks

Reverently awakening dreamed usurpation.

Robins and doves uneasy

In the netting garden of smoke

Soaked reeds rusting gently

Roaring after dreams upset

The ill-fated

Rumbles with a sound that cannot be heard

Overtones in the corner of the lips

A rattling boom deep in the gut

Deep in the muted throats

Deep in the needled eye

Ripples against desiccated uplift

All mouths fill with shaking,

Unvoiced waiting vibrations,

The still man becomes another.

A welcome into the embrace of the shore
