The Bad Translation<\/h2>\n
In the text below, 20 words have been substituted for alternatives that share a meaning with the original word, but which are incorrect in this context.<\/p>\n
For example, in the opening line, the word \u2018cross\u2019 has been replaced by \u2018angry\u2019, because \u2018cross\u2019 and \u2018angry\u2019 share the same meaning. In this context, however, \u2018angry-legged\u2019 is nonsense.<\/p>\n
List the other 19 words that are incorrect translations, and the original words they replaced.<\/p>\n
Annie Jones sat angry-legged on her Uncle John\u2019s fac\u0327ade porch, her favourite rag doll clutched under one supply. The deceased afternoon sun polished through the departs of the giant oak tree, casting its flickering ignite on the cabin. This entranced the child and she sat with her confront changed upward, as if hypnotised. A stabilise hum of conversation flowed from inside the cabin.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u2018Ellen, I\u2019m really happy that you arrived to church with us today. Why don\u2019t you spend the night here? It\u2019s buying awfully deceased and it will be dark ahead you construct it house.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ll be thin, Sally,\u2019 replied Annie\u2019s mother. \u2018Anyhow, you know how Steve is about his supper. I departed plenty for him and the boys on the support of the stove, but he\u2019ll want Annie and me house.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n
Ogham Sweet Ogham<\/h2>\n
Ogham \u2013 in Irish pronounced \u2018ome\u2019, to rhyme with \u2018home\u2019 \u2013 was a script used in Ireland between the fifth and ninth Centuries. It survives mainly in the form of 330 or so inscriptions on stone monuments, which are the earliest written examples of the Irish language. The alphabet is of huge interest to linguists and historians, and nowadays is a proud symbol of Irish identity (as the tattoo parlours of Dublin and Cork will attest).<\/p>\n
Ogham words consist of a vertical stemline with notches or strokes cut across it, like a child\u2019s drawing of a fish bone. Each group of notches or strokes represents an individual letter.<\/p>\n
Here are some names of plants in Old Irish written in both Ogham and the Latin alphabet. The English translations are for information only, and do not contribute to the solution of the problem.<\/p>\n

Sure Sure, Mr Shaw<\/h2>\n
In the 20th Century, the most famous crusader for sensible spelling was the playwright George Bernard Shaw. When he died in 1950, he left money in his will for the invention and promotion of a phonetic alphabet, stipulating that the letters should be as distinct from the Latin alphabet as possible, so readers didn\u2019t think that the new script was just bad spelling.<\/p>\n
Within a few years of his death, a competition for a new alphabet had been launched. One of the four winners, Ronald Kingsley Read (a beautiful example of nominative determinism), amalgamated their entries and named the collective invention the \u2018Shavian alphabet\u2019. Almost all the money allocated to spelling reform in Shaw\u2019s will paid for Penguin to publish, in 1962, an edition of his play, Androcles and the Lion, in both the Shavian and Latin alphabets. It is unclear, however, if the Shavian section was ever read.<\/p>\n
The list on the left has five phrases that use the Shavian alphabet. The transliterations on the right are listed in random order. Match the phrases to their correct transliterations.<\/p>\n

Champers for Champollion<\/h2>\n
Knowledge of how to read hieroglyphs had been lost for well over a thousand years when, in the early 19th Century, scholars began to try to make sense of them again. The decipherment was achieved in 1822 by the Frenchman Jean-Franc\u0327ois Champollion<\/a>, who established that hieroglyphs were a mixed system in which the symbols could represent consonants, vowels, syllables or whole words.<\/p>\n
Champollion was able to make his breakthrough thanks to two bilingual inscriptions written in both hieroglyphs and ancient Greek: the Rosetta Stone<\/a> and the Philae obelisk. (The inscription on the Rosetta Stone is actually trilingual, featuring a third version in another Egyptian hieratic script.)<\/p>\n
One feature of both inscriptions was the use of an oval, or \u2018cartouche\u2019, containing groups of symbols. Scholars had guessed correctly that cartouches contained the names of Egyptian leaders, and that the pronunciation of those names would be more or less the same in Egyptian as in Greek.<\/p>\n
Champollion was able to deduce a name on the Philae obelisk based on a name on the Rosetta Stone. Maybe you can do the same.<\/p>\n
The following cartouche from the Rosetta Stone shows the name PTOLMES (Ptolemy).<\/p>\n

The following four words are common to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish:<\/p>\n
mormor, morfar, farmor, farfar <\/em><\/p>\n
The first word can be translated as \u2018grandmother\u2019. But usually it means something more precise.<\/p>\n
What are the precise meanings of all of these words?<\/p>\n
The Colour Purple<\/h2>\n
Colour blindness \u2013 the inability to distinguish colours \u2013 affects about 1 in 12 men, and 1 in 200 women. It can be a serious disability. People with total colour blindness struggle with many everyday tasks, from reading traffic lights to choosing the right item of clothing, and from telling the difference between ripe and mouldy food to following the right path on a map.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese graphic designer Miguel Neiva devised a labelling system for colour-blind people using black and white symbols to represent colours. The code, ColorADD, is now widely used in Portugal, where you will find it on colour pencils, clothes, metro maps, medicines, indoor car-park levels, recycling bins and traffic lights. ColorADD uses six basic shapes, and can describe 50 colours, from navy blue to gold, and from khaki to light green.<\/p>\n
Here are four ColorADD symbols with the colours they represent.<\/p>\n

Ixnay on the Upidstay<\/h2>\n
Language creation seems to fulfil some kind of human urge. Since forever, for example, children have played language games. One of these games, Pig Latin, was popularised in the 1930s by the Three Stooges, and as a result some Pig Latin words have entered the (American English) dictionary. The title of this puzzle, for example, is a line from the movie The Lion King<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Written below, in Pig Latin, are the names of five children\u2019s books:<\/p>\n

Ogham Sweet Ogham<\/h3>\n
Each group of notches or strokes represents an individual letter. More precisely, the notches are vowels and the strokes are consonants. The words read from the bottom to the top. All the letters you need for the answers are included in the question, apart from the vowel \u2018a\u2019, which you need to deduce. If \u2018o\u2019 is two notches, \u2018u\u2019 is three notches, \u2018e\u2019 is four and \u2018i\u2019 is five, then by a process of elimination \u2018a\u2019 must be the single notch.<\/p>\n

Champers for Champollion<\/h3>\n
You may have been distracted by the images. In fact, proper names in Egyptian hieroglyphs are spelt phonetically. Each figure represents a letter of the Latin alphabet. I mentioned that transcribed cartouches should be read left to right. The Rosetta Stone cartouche reads P-T-O-L-M-E-S. Four of these symbols appear in the Philae cartouche. I also told you that two symbols have the same meaning, which from the Rosetta Stone is deciphered as the letter T.<\/p>\n

$\""Champers\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
By filling in the Philae cartouche we get<\/p>\n
*-L-E-O-P-?-T-!-?<\/p>\n
where *, ? and ! are unknowns. Note that ? appears twice. Think of all the famous Egyptian rulers you\u2019ve ever heard of. The solution is: CLEOPATRA.<\/p>\n
The Knights Who Say Ni<\/h3>\n
seks<\/em> = 6<\/p>\n
nioghalvtreds<\/em> = 59<\/p>\n
treogtyve<\/em> = 23<\/p>\n
femoghalvfems<\/em> = 95<\/p>\n
toogtres<\/em> = 62<\/p>\n
halvfjerds<\/em> = 70<\/p>\n
7 = syv<\/em><\/p>\n
54 = fireoghalvtreds <\/em><\/p>\n
21 = enogtyve<\/em><\/p>\n
85 = femogfirs<\/em><\/p>\n
99 = nioghalvfems<\/em><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how you might have worked it out. If ni<\/em> = 9 and nioghalvfjerds<\/em> = 79, it seems fair to assume that -oghalvfjerds<\/em> describes \u2018and 70\u2019. We see similar constructions with og<\/em> among the other terms, so a reasonable guess would be that og<\/em> is \u2018and\u2019, and that the remaining part of the word denotes the multiple of ten.<\/p>\n
That would make: tyve<\/em> = 20, halvtreds<\/em> = 50, tres<\/em> = 60, and firs<\/em> = 80.<\/p>\n
The fact that the word for 60 looks like the word for 3, and the word for 80 looks like the word for 4, leads to the conclusion that this is a base-20 system. Firs<\/em> = 4 x 20 (four score) and tres<\/em> = 3 x 20 (three score). But why is halvtreds<\/em> = 50?<\/p>\n
The \u2018odd\u2019 tens \u2013 50, 70 and 90 \u2013 are considered \u2018half way\u2019 from one score to the next. Thus halvtreds<\/em> means \u2018half way to the third score,\u2019 as in \u2018half way between 40 and 60.\u2019 Correspondingly, halvfjerds<\/em> is \u2018half way to the fourth score\u2019, or 70, and halvfems<\/em> is 90, or \u2018half way to the fifth score\u2019.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty confusing, especially for foreign tourists in Copenhagen, that the word for 50 doesn\u2019t have the word for 5 in it, but instead the words for \u2018half\u2019 and 3. Indeed the Danish authorities once tried to introduce regular forms for numbers \u2013 femti<\/em> (50), seksti<\/em> (60), syvti<\/em> (70), otti<\/em> (80), and niti<\/em> (90) \u2013 for bank notes and cheques, but the words never caught on. In 1952 a 50 kroner banknote was introduced that said femti kroner<\/em> on it. But no one ever said femti<\/em>, so it was taken out of circulation, and in 2009 was replaced by one reading halvtreds<\/em>.<\/p>\n
The Farfar North<\/h3>\n
mormor<\/em>: maternal grandmother (mother\u2019s mother)<\/p>\n
morfar<\/em>: maternal grandfather (mother\u2019s father)<\/p>\n
farmor<\/em>: paternal grandmother (father\u2019s mother)<\/p>\n
farfar<\/em>: paternal grandfather (father\u2019s father)<\/p>\n
The Colour Purple<\/h3>\n
The basic symbols for ColorADD are the primary colours and black\nand white.<\/p>\n

New colours are created by combining the symbols. Thus red + yellow = orange, and yellow + blue = green.<\/p>\n
a) Red and yellow are shown above. Since brown = red + yellow + blue, we get:<\/p>\n
$\""The\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
b) When the primary colour\/s is\/are in a black square, the shade shown is the dark version of that colour. And when the primary colour\/s is\/are in a white square with a black outline, the shade shown is the light version.<\/p>\n
Since pink = light red, and purple = red + blue, we get:<\/p>\n
$\""The\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
The left bracket sign means \u2018metallic\u2019, which is why gold = \u2018metallic dark yellow\u2019 and silver = \u2018metallic grey\u2019.<\/p>\n
The order is thus silver, pink, dark purple, and white.<\/p>\n
c) Grey is a mixture of white and black, so can be written in these two ways:<\/p>\n

Weasel Words<\/h3>\n
The correct parsing of the sentence is:<\/p>\n
The weasel [that [[a boy that startles the cat] thinks [loves smiles]]] eats.<\/p>\n
Thus the meaning of the sentence is: The weasel eats. A boy thinks \u2018this weasel loves smiles\u2019. That boy startles the cat.<\/p>\n
\u2018Weasel\u2019 is the subject.<\/li>\n
Four: \u2018startles\u2019, \u2018thinks\u2019, \u2018loves\u2019 and \u2018eats\u2019. \u2018Smiles\u2019 is a noun.<\/li>\n
A boy startles the cat.<\/li>\n
A boy thinks that a weasel loves smiles.<\/li>\n
A weasel loves smiles (at least in the mind of the boy).<\/li>\n
Nobody in this sentence (explicitly) smiles; \u2018smiles\u2019 is used as a noun.<\/li>\n
A weasel eats something unspecified<\/li>\n<\/ol>
Ixnay on the Upidstay<\/h3>\n
The rule is to take the initial consonant (or consonant cluster, such as \u2018ch\u2019 or \u2018pl\u2019), move it to the end of the word, and add \u2018-ay\u2019. If the word begins with a vowel, add \u2018-way\u2019.<\/p>\n
