And with the asking of the (first) question a thousand thousand things came into being.
It seems to be an appropriate line to end this chiasma. I return to completing this translation after the interruption of the holidays. I would have returned to it earlier except that I pushed my way through making notes from Describing Morphosyntax by Thomas Payne. The next challenge I have set myself is to create a coherent language out of my notes. I hope you remain with me as I rally and compile my thoughts.
