| translated by Max Knight | translated by Bertilo Wennergren | translated by Alexander Gross | ||||
| One night, a banshee slunk away | Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | |||
| from mate and child, and in the gloom | meznokte iam kuris for | von Weib und Kind und sich begab | Left wife and brood one night and came | |||
| went to a village teacher’s tomb, | al tombo de la profesor’. | an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | |||
| requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“ | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | |||
| The village teacher climbed up straight | Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | |||
| upon his grave stone with its plate | starante sur la kructabul’ | auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | |||
| and to the apparition said | dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten | The seer arose a bit unsteady | |||
| who meekly knelt before the dead: | atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten: | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | |||
| “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | „Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann, | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | |||
| the banHERS, the possessive case. | tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | „des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann, | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | |||
| The banHER, next, is what they call | plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt, | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | |||
| objective case--and that is all.” | ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“ | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | |||
| The banshee marveled at the cases | Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | |||
| and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | er rollte seine Augenbälle. | The future form and participle | |||
| but said: “You did not add, so far, | ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | „Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | |||
| the plural to the singular!” | pri participoj en pasivo.” | zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“ | The scholar paused--again he tried: | |||
| The teacher, though, admitted then | La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | |||
| that this was not within his ken. | “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste. | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | |||
| “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas | Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar, | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | |||
| “A she cannot be plurized.” | kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular. | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | |||
| The banshee, rising clammily, | Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind – | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | |||
| wailed: “What about my family?” | ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind! | At home, and homewards now he crept, | |||
| Then, being not a learned creature, | La lup’ revenis larmokula | Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben, | Happy, humble, without apology | |||
| said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | al sia famili’ ulula. | so schied er dankend und ergeben. | For such folly of philology. | |||
