Dec 2010 | SD3 and the fact this is SF45 put this before 23/8/10; the discussion of this text probably happened on 21/8/10 (cfr. SD1.xix), so I assume this was done after that; I would guess the fragments after it were done after it; this is an SP3 residue tweaked in SP5»;
        15. SF 45 English changes histories from «Betw. 16/8/10 and 23/8/10, probs after 21/8/10, twk. twice within 2/11/10 and once more betw. 21/12/10 and 5/1/11, probs Xmas holidays | Cfr. previous for 23/8 and 21/8; this is an SP3 residue with manuscripted tweak on SP3, tweaked in S6/7 and S9»;

Blog index

Just like the two other blogs, this blog will also have an index. I don't think it'll ever have a spoiler, because these analyses are unplanned, and even if there are some I'd like to post, I definitely won't plan an order for them. At the moment, i.e. as of posting the index, there are only two posts, and the blog was opened less than a month ago. UPDATE: There are now, on 18/10/21 at 1:08 am, 16 posts, and I am going to add a second tab where they are ordered by languages, with spoilers for each language's planned posts. Chronological By languages Mende: Nunga wa ɔ | 7/8/20 15:34 (no idea why the blog says Aug 3, maybe I published it for some reason and then reverted to draft) | video: Nunga ua oh , Venez! (TB); @MickG: Mende (Nūŋgā wā ɔ̄) + French (Venez les gens) ; Lingála: Salelaka Mokonzi, or the most deformed song in the whole web | 7/8/20 15:35 | video 1: Sáleláká Mokonzi , video 2 (2:54-5:38): Sáleláká Mokonzi , Work for the Lord (TB

Lingála: Sáleláká Mokonzi, or the most deformed song in the whole web

Yes: like the previous post, this is kind of nonstandard, and an African song from the CL songbook. In fact, I may have mentioned it beyond the fact that it was in the songbook. The title is in the post title, and it means "Continuously work for the Lord". This was well-known in my CL community, so I knew it existed, and was even able to sing a more or less accurate version of it, since a very young age. I remember seeing its lyrics in the songbook as far back as summer 2010, when I realized there was a verse 3 which apparently didn't fit the tune I knew. Considering that, as my video of the song shows, the tune changes drastically from verse 2 to verse 3, that is no surprise. Anyway, fast forward to Saturday, Sep 21 2019. I told this bit of the story in the other post: travelling back to L'Aquila, where I study, with my parents, who were coming to the SIF meeting that was to be held the following week, and the song somehow came up in our conversation. I was asked

Xhosa: Nguqongqothwane

Today we have a somewhat famous Xhosa song, Qongqothwane | Knock-knock beetle , aka "The click song". I already posted the song here before this blog existed, and now I decided to move the analysis here. Alright, so: "Igqirha lendlela nguqongqothwane": Igqirha is found to be the singular form of the noun meaning "traditional doctor" at the Xhosa dictionary , and my Quora helper glosses it as "witchdoctor". I guess "diviner" could do. That is the Wikipedia take on this word. Lendlela is le-, "of", + -ndlela, root of a noun meaning "road". Nguqongqothwane is ngu-, "he's", a subject prefix for an opportune third person singular, + -qongqothwane, root of the name of this beetle which emits a characteristic knock-knock sound which the clicks in the name imitate. This beetle's passing is considered a good omen, which is why this song is sung at weddings. Cfr. Wikipedia on the beetles. So the first
