Translations

The Evenacht has a wide variety of spoken languages, not just the common Reckoning. For chapters that require it, I'll add translations here.

Chapter 9

The conversation between Joila and Qira at the beginning of the chapter.

“Qira!” Joila’s firm exasperation meant the deity had again done something to prolong his already-lengthy healing. “No xu o Ayešt ma no bašu ta zā!”

“Še grašu ʾi zā ʾi šiz rond.”

“Qira! You may be Light but you’re not immortal!”

“I’m as immortal as they come.”

Harmāe šekekendurjā, eh?”

“Buaq,” Qira agreed. He patted at his breastbone. “Sālurtā fārs ayešt.”

“No in hā-zaj zāg fārs šerez.”

“Še o’r xeft.”

“Golden beauty, eh?”

“Yes. The power of Light.”

“You always have been a lover of nature.”

“I suppose.”

“It’s just as well, ern šeyaz.”

Literally, sweet honey. An endearment in Aristarzian culture, used with both sexes, to denote an especially loved one.
