Dear diallists, Our friend Inasio Etxea sent us a small collection of basque sundial mottoes written in his language. As you'll probably know, basque is a millenary language of unknown origin spoken in the corner of the Biscay Gulf, between Spain and France. Some mottoes are modern or direct translations of the common ones, but some others seem very old and of uncertain meaning.
You can find them at http://www.relojesdesol.org/Euskalemas.pdf Inasio (and us) ask for help to find more mottoes to enlarge his collection. As Reinhold Kiegler said, this is a wonderful chance to make your mottoes even more cumbersome, if you think that latin ones are not enough!!! :-) Best regards and happy solstice, Anselmo Perez Serrada -
