	5 questions from jadelennox. Answers also in Latin and Rikchik. 5 rogationes a jadelennox. Responsa quoque Anglice et Ilpedice.
	1. Latin poetry or puzzles? I would keep the Latin poetry. But the choice is a painful one even to think about. Poesin Latinam servo. Sed lectionem contemplari me dolet.
	2. Snuggling or music? A fight with whichever god or person was compelling the choice. Proelium cum quoquo deo vel homine qui lectionem cogit.
	3. Gabrielle or Willow? Willow. Gabrielle's too mature for me. Salix. Gabriela prudentior mihi est.
	4. Daniel Pinkwater or Kim Stanley Robinson? Pinkwater. I can live without grandiose, but not without silly. Auctor libri cui nomen "Musica Lacertarum." Sine notionibus grandibus vivere possum, sed non sine absurdis.
	5. How is it possible to maintain that some questions are better than others in a way that cannot be entirely reduced to a binary opposition? Since it is obvious that no memer actually thinks that all questions are equally interesting, what kind of evaluation does memeing permit? Holding a question to be better than another is itself a binary opposition. A meme like this one are not a compressed opinion like the "Good or Bad" of Brunching Shuttlecocks, but instead an opportunity to see a single idea from multiple perspectives. Alteram rogationem meliorem altera habere ipsum oppositio bina est. Memata similia huic memati non sunt sententiae condensatae, sicut programma cui nomen "Bonum aut Malum" apud Pilas Pennatas Quae Hora Quinta Comedunt, sed etiam his mematibus notionem unam ex multis adspectibus videre possumus.

Cum opus fuerit me rogatiunculas latinas tibi imponere, defui. Me paenitet, sed veris sat latinizasse sine me ;)

Nunc autem debeo commentariunculum scribere.

Haud dubium est quin Lingua Ilpedica sit lingua quaedam constructa a te, et quam belle scribitur! Sed quare nomen Anglicum, Rikchik tanto differt a nomine Latino? Nomina linguarum a me constructarum nonnumquam differunt proprium ab anglicum atque latinum, sed numquam anglicum ab latino, exempli causa: Dúmãdara = Lumandæa = Lumandean (figura Latino-anglica ab ethnonymate Dúmãdai "Lumandaei" derivatur)

Poesin Latinam servo. Sed lectionem contemplari me dolet.

Lectio haud aptum est, nam semper aut reading aut gathering significat... vis potius selectionem, electionem, etc. Fortasse verbum aptissimum esset dilemma.

Proelium cum quoquo deo vel homine qui lectionem cogit.

Hem, fortasse melius scripsisses "cum quoquo sive deo sive homine"... haec quae scrips'ti mihi videtur dicere "Eh, fortasse deus est, fortasse homo... per me licet eum esse et deus et homo." Num Iesum in animo habuisti? ;)

Salix. Gabriela prudentior mihi est.

Ah! Versione Anglica sola lecta credebam te dicere Gabrielam esse nimis te iudice matura, sed versio Latina elucidavit. Semper finxi nomen Latinum alterius mulieris esse Saliciam, sed re vera nulla causa est quin modo Salix sit.

Auctor libri cui nomen "Musica Lacertarum."

Hahahae, sed quid ni "Aqua Rubicunda" vel sim.?

Sine notionibus grandibus vivere possum, sed non sine absurdis.

Optume dictum!

Alteram rogationem meliorem altera habere ipsum oppositio bina est.

Hem, de rebus logicis vix scio, sed fortasse binaria melius diceres.

Memata ... mematibus

Bene videtur, sed... verbum anglicum quod est meme fictum est eo ut sit quasi verbum gene. Opus igitur est verba latina sint similia... sed omnes pro dolor hodierni videntur figura genum proponere, quod mihi turpissimum est.

Quidquid id est: optume scripta et responsa.

Vale.

Haud dubium est quin Lingua Ilpedica sit lingua quaedam constructa a te, et quam belle scribitur! Sed quare nomen Anglicum, Rikchik tanto differt a nomine Latino?
Non a me constructa est, sed a fratre meo,

rikchik. Nomen Anglicum eorum extraterrestrialum qui hac lingua utuntur est "Rikchik" sed Latine malo ea nominare "ilpes, ilpedis" quia quique ilpes habet undequinquaginta pedes.

meme sicut gene
Ergo memes, memis?

...Latine malo ea nominare "ilpes, ilpedis" quia quique ilpes habet undequinquaginta pedes.

Gaudeo quod Imelda Marcos ilpes non est.

Ah, nunc memini! Mihi de his rebus locutus es apud Conventiculum.

Hem, gene... plurimi sic: genum, -i. Olim proposui genes, -tis cogitans de verbo geneticus -a -um, sed re vera genetic attinet non ad gena sed ad genesin. Verbum gene derivatur a pangen quod latine sine dubio esset pangenum, unde genum Geni autem me taedet quod nimis simile est ad genam et alia verba. Quidquid id est, gene:genetic :: meme:memetic qua de caussa memes -tis fortasse sufficit... sed plures memum -i proponent.

ilpedice? And what's Rikchik for Latin? And meme?

Ilpedice is "in the language of the ilpedes." I call the rikchiks "ilpes" in Latin because each one has IL (49) feet. I have no idea if such a pun has any Latin antecedents.
I sort of got around the Rikchik for "Latin". In the first phrase, I just said "words in human-speak." In talking about poetry, I just said "words that art in a language both dead and not dead." Which certainly distinguishes it from puzzles, but if I were going to talk about Latin much in Rikchik, I'd need a better name, probably based on the etymology of the name Latium.
For "meme", I said "thoughts that are exchanged," which is a bit non-specific, but clear enough.
I can go into detail on the other names and neologisms if you (or anyone) like.

words in human-speak.

I like that.

I really should find a good Rikchik work for Latin, though. Are there any reasonable conjectures for the etymology of "Latium?"

I believe that it is supposed to be from latus -a -um or at any rate that the ancients thought so.

But you know, one human language is just like any other. Or should I say "dialect" ;)
