FIRST DRAFT

PROLOGUE – NOTES TO THE NON-ITLANI READER

What follows is the original Itlani text, (in Realms-Somewhere-
Real)of Seyrán ta Tainaa, translated into English and published
as Circle of the Lantern in 2015. The English version is
available at amazon.com.

Qui, in our Primary-Physical-Reality, the Itlani language is
intended to embody a certain metaphysical, poetic, aesthetic
ideal completely subjective to its discoverer (James E.
Hopkins).

This aesthetic ideal of the Itlani language can be summarized as
follows:

[io]

FUNDAMENTAL AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ITLANI

A language of recognized value, serving as a standard of excellence – traditional,

enduring, characterized by simple tailored (smart, fitted, well cut) lines, historically

memorable, authentic, authoritative, ancient, emphasizing balance, clarity,

moderation, principle, and style. Exhibiting simplicity, restraint, proportion, e

universality.

A language emphasizing non-explicit intimations, hints of things that are, or were

or might have been, memories, feelings, intuitions. applying the philosophy and

techniques of impressionism to language creation: a desire to capture the fleeting,

sensory effect of phonology, morphology and syntax, abstract associations; IL

momentary, shimmering impressions that the linguistic structure leaves behind –

the “tone and air” according to Tolkien (zerimár), the sometimes imprecise but

perceptible structural characteristics that occasionally blur lines and distinctions

(for example the classification of Itlani as an ‘Afro-Asiatic Indo-European language

or an Indo-Semitic Italo-morph), and as a language that captures the optical and

auditory effects of word and sentence forms to communicate a certain atmosphere in

resultant texts. A language applicable to ordinary, mundane subject matter as well

as to idealized higher epic literature. A language embracing ambiguity of style for

effect and resistant to strict classification. A language possessing certain

intentionally imprecise structures and styles leaving readers and hearers to emote

between the lines. A language that is subjectively real in Realms-Somewhere-Real

(RSR) and defiant of the real-world Primary-Physical-Reality (PPR) standards. UN

language embracing dependence on sensory and emotional response. A language

where elicited feelings and reactions are central. A language utilizing broad brush

structures of sound and meaning requiring a broad perspective in contrast to a

fixation on rigidly nuanced details.

A language in which emotions are paramount, emphasizing the flow of powerful

feelings which the discoverer / language creator molds into a new piece of art

through documentation and presentation. Imagination or inner vision is the source

of the work of art, dependence on artistic inspiration and complete lack of

interference from artificially or externally imposed rules, attunement to the

mystical or metaphysical “winds” (talmen) – receiving the visions (eliséyn,

talshmasín), accessing genetic memories which are encoded in archetypes, being

metaphysically transported beyond one’s own mind to access Realms-Somewhere-

Real. More or less passive involuntary reception of inspiration without “complete”

understanding, mystical, metaphysical, RSR inspired state of receptivity shaped by

the heart, mind and soul of the artist (discoverer / conlanger). A language that is

based on unsought, uncontrolled, irresistible input – documenting what is received

(zhanivit shol – language as found) with as little personal manipulation as possible.

A language whose source is both mysterious and accessible, and universally holistic

(Shey-Mu).

A language that is stylish (elegant, sophisticated, neat, confident), graceful,

tasteful, discerning, refined, dignified, cultivated, distinguished, classic, smart,

fashionable, modish, decorous, beautiful, artistic, aesthetic, lovely; charming,

polished, suave, urbane, cultured, luxurious, sumptuous, opulent, grand, plush,

exquisite, neat, simple, effective. More concisely, I see the Itlani language as

luxurious and rich in a restrained manner, including simplicity and consistency of

design, dignified grace, and restrained beauty of style.

[io]

Now clearly, this stream-of-consciousness characterization is
ambitious, rich, multilayered, non-technical, unscientific, e
at many points, amazingly self contradictory. Tuttavia, A
the Itlani, all of this, in sound, structure, and story, È
embodied in their planetary epic Seyrán ta Tainaa (Circle of the
Lantern).

SEYRÁN TA TAINAA

1Seyrán ta Tainaa is a five thousand year old Itlani historical novel by Tsiasuk-

Pron, first published in 10 YU. It is considered the greatest work of Itlani literature

and Itlán’s planetary epic.1 In its English translation it is known as Circle of the

Lantern.

2Beginning in approximately the year 3 BU and ending in the year 1 YU2 it

chronicles the adventures of Tsiasuk-Pron (then known as Tsirtsír-Ram) and the

Lady Pulán-Shuv, the Enchantress of Djanár. The major theme of the book is the

War of Starani Violation and the eventual establishment of peace on the planet

Itlán.

3The text delves into the roles of war, peace, prophecy, institutional religion,

wild magick, intuition and their connection with and effect upon politics. The main

thread of the story involves the boy, Tsirtsír-Ram, who, essentially an orphan

through the abandonment of his father Mishár-Chan and the death of his mother

Giván-An, impulsively follows a mysterious Djanari queen on her quest for peace

and an end to the war precipitated by the Starani Violation. The Seyrán is written

in versiprose (lirprazhen), a form of prose with intermittent additions of poetry

composed by the characters.

TEXT

4The original handwritten cursive manuscript survives and was held for a long time

in the archives of the Tikari Institute for Itlani Language and Culture (TIILC). IL

book now resides in the Itlani capital, Shirit Shishá, at the headquarters of

Institute of Itlán (Istonza Itlana). Due to its sacred character the Itlani language

1 In Itlani: eylbrediit lirprazhen.
2 BU – Before Unification; YU – Year of Unification.

has remained very resistant to change throughout the centuries and for that reason

the original can be read by modern Itlani with ease.

5The text itself is constructed in such a way as to make full use of Itlani storytelling

techniques. Alliteration, consonance, repetition and wordplay are common

throughout the text. The was written in an epic style, employing elevated and

heroic speech patterns not heard commonly among modern day Itlani speakers.

6In any discrepancy between the original Itlani text and John Harris’ English

translation, the Itlani original takes precedence.

SOCIAL INFLUENCE

7The Seyrán is of enormous literary, spiritual and cultural importance to the people

of Itlán. It is considered Itlán’s planetary epic.

8Although a written work, in its original form, it was recorded in a way that

made it very amenable to Itlani oral storytelling, ta prazhenós, which is a staple of

Itlani cultural life. Its rhythms, alliteration, assonance and songlike cadences lend

it to public declamation and musical renditions.

MAJOR THEMES

9Several themes were presented in the Seyrán as points of departure for further

investigation and self-reflection: war and peace, history, family, the tension between

wild magick and institutional religion, the convergence of prophecies, the role of

politics, nationalism, identity, relationships, individual responsibility and self-

sacrifice and planetary thinking.

10As is customary in Itlani storytelling technique, these themes are not

exhaustively dealt with or necessarily resolved but rather are presented in a way as

to invite greater thought and contemplation on broader themes. As with many

Itlani stories, students will often read and re-read them, extracting new and greater

morsels of truth with each revisiting.

ROMANIZATION

11The Romanization system used here, for the Itlani language, is the one adopted by

the Istonza Tikaria resh ta Itlanit Sholey vey Kayarey (The Tikari Institute for the

Itlani Language and Culture). The Semerian, Djiran, Djanari, and Lastulani

languages each have their own systems of Romanization and for longer quotes in

these languages, their native Romanizations are used, Tuttavia, names of

individuals mentioned in the Itlani text will be Romanized according to the Itlani

Romanization of their Datebic3 spelling.

PUNCTUATION AND CAPITALIZATION

12Itlani usage of punctuation has never been standardized and varies widely.

Likewise, as the native Itlani script, ta Datéb, has no distinction between capital

and small letters, capitalization in the Romanization is rather haphazard.

PRINTING CONVENTIONS

13This document presents the Seyrán ta Tainaa in its standard Romanized form.

Footnotes will occasionally be provided to explain difficult compound words not

listed in the Gadansál (Standard Itlani Lexicon). A bold red number in square

brackets indicates the equivalent page number in the English translation, Circle of

the Lantern, (James E. Hopkins, Authorhouse, 2015)

3 The native Itlani script, ta Datéb. The name of this classic in Datebic script is: ;seyrAn @ tainaa;

TEXT RECONSTRUCTION

14The first three pages of the Seyrán existed in five versions (according to fragment

misurare):

1. RSR – Vansát Seyrana ta Tainaa (8-19-2019) – “R:VST”

2. RSR – Circle of the Lantern Itlani Version – “R:IV”

3. TAR – Seyrán “TAR:S”

4. COTL – Itlani Version Working Papers – “C:WP”

5. RSR – Original Text Seyrán ta Tainaa – “R:OT”

15These five fragments were compared and harmonized and the best readings were

chosen before the reception of the remaining text was resumed.

18 Djol-Tsulaél retains unusual spellings, words, lack of punctuation and idiosyncratic accent usage. It differs from
the usage of the author of the Seyrán and has been harmonized only where necessary for clarity.
19 Vutit: in modern Itlani this would be either savutit or sait using the third person reflexive possessive adjective.
Much of Djol-Tsulaél’s Itlani is idiosyncratic.
