djaberuoki

[nemorathwald]

overthesun  asked for Jabberwocky translated into Lojban and back into English. This is done by inventing gibberish words within the Lojban phonotactic and grammar rules, just as Lewis Carroll did in the original. The problem with translating it back into English is that Jabberwocky is mostly not English to begin with. I'll do a partial retranslation.

The Lojban translation of Jabberwocky is by xorxes.

djaberuoki .i ca lo musne lo salstova cu curna carnu lo darnobe .i racydri fa lo burgova .i zdarnio radju grobe	Too many neologisms to bother with in this stanza. "mome-raths" is translated [racydri] (pronounced rah-shuh-dree), which means "fragile-sad things".
