Kŵrakán Compositions

==============================

This is a sample of different passages composed Kŵrakán kas, taken from various sources. I have interlinear glosses that I'd like put here too, but the formatting will take a while.


éχízen mránthe ŵlwa khínan vn χaran

excerpt from "Don Quixote: Which was a Dream" by Kathy Acker

==============================

I'll no longer speak because you are not hearing and will never hear me no matter how I speak.
vóhavízev brŷth ŵlwa ras yrtó otalav ınıv v envero ve talíztó dobor gwelo éχen χavgarev
I wanted to find a meaning or myth or language that was mine, rather than those which try to control me
namúnev dwanev χathev, χebavev, χethev. vó het ve dwaúrós.
but languge is communal and here is no community
dwó éχen ethe ebentha ev van éχen benan vó
I speak within myself some messed-up language which isn't quite language.
havev ethe kavtha χalaχev ata
I don't know which of my memories to trust, I don't know what memories to believe.
χherseravev zenev vó gwír éχen mhatharú
Is there any history? is there anything here but boredom?
éχen ege ebav? éχen van egetír esel lagra / aχan?
all singing must now be howling.

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) - warning message for proposed long-term nuclear waste storage facility

==============================

This place is a message, and part of a system of messages, pay attention to it!
éχen oyan bava, v éχen χól av χetvúna mhava av, taltho en!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
éχúnen órthe yrzıvh ŷ matav oy bava artho. valarúnıvh karelo zalavthe.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…nothing valued is here.
vŵχen oyan yen madhŷn, éχen erseth van harza madhŷn vó, éχen van naftha órthe
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
éχen tkárŷn v áχth rıvh et vanthe. éχen χashara dkárav av oy bava.
The danger is in a particular location…it increases toward a center…the center of danger is here…of a particular size and shape... and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
taúten ŷ tkárav ŵeχótho am, ŵeχóvhı kas
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
éχen ŷ tkárav ŷ hróna r v arúχen vath
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically.
éχen apŷgasth ŷ tkárav nes ŷr apvrrhótho ŵnthe oyan
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
éχen bethra et ebrótho v úyrhertho vó oyan
