In other words:
- take a set of bilingual
dictionaries,
- don't let yourself be hindered by any kind of
expertise in linguistics, except
for advanced skills in annagrams and word puzzles,
- invent an impressingly sounding set of terms
and phrases such as "sun language", "the bogus letter W", "the bogus letter
'H' being an 'I'", "the so-called Indo-European expression 'vis-a-vis'" [and i
thought it was French!!],
- add a dash of blind nationalism,
and the result is... "not idle chit-chat"
(and i wonder which rearranged Turkish
expression hides itself behind this one...)
