New Downloads & Contents

Apipoulaï, Fellow Fans!

As you may have noticed, I’ve translated the Contents bar into Divinian - it seemed like an appropriate change to make, since the site is devoted to researching, revealing and learning the language – however it occurred to me that it might make navigation of the site a wee bit difficult for newcomers, so I thought I’d offer a translation of the menu here to assist those whose studies of the language are not as intensive as my own. Here ya go:

Metalkcta – Home
Hotro Hila'y'am Deo Tokemata – About The Divine Language
Deo Tokemata mena English – Divine Language to English (dictionary)
English mena Deo Tokemata – English to Divine Language (dictionary)
Kil'kisst – Numbers
Patchabogon & Ogon – Months & Days
Limoi'tokemata – Pronunciation
FREE Ligounaï'ge – Free Database Download
Foun'de Imanetaba – Sources
Matin Imanetaba – References
Dakta'dalat – Blog
Dakta Itoumalena – Comments Archive

Hope that helps!

I am also in the process of uploading the new database(s) for FREE download. I will be offering a NEW MS Access 2007 version as well as an improved Access 2003 version for those still working in Windows XP and Office 2003. The 2007 version turned out beautifully, and offers a much more aesthetic functionality, however it is considerably larger (at about 45MB zipped) than the new 2003 version (at about 25MB zipped), despite that each holds exactly the same information and options. For those people running Vista and/or Access 2007, please note that you should still be able to run the 2003 version, if you opt for the smaller download, which functions just as well – it just isn’t as pretty. I’ve added all my research on pronunciation, months, days and numbers to both the new dbases, and the search functionality, along with the related-word thesaurus are both still there. The only thing missing from the original download are the mp3’s, unfortunately. I’ve run into a bug with the OLE embedded objects in both versions and haven’t been able to work out the kinks yet. I think I may end up having to re-load all the sound bytes and start fresh, and it just hasn’t been at the top of my list of priorities. However, all the mp3’s are still available here on the site, and I’ll be recording and adding those that are missing in the coming weeks.

So both versions of the database will be posted by tonight – PLEASE notify me immediately if you have ANY functionality problems with either, so that I can address and fix them quickly.

Well, I guess that’s it for now – I hope you enjoy the new and improved databases, and I’ll keep you posted on the next updates! (My next endeavour will probably be grammar and its many components, including verbs, verb tense, nouns, adjectives, etc.)

Domo Danko!
