Greek vs isiZulu verbs

An experiment while bored before a meeting.

I’m going to do it.

No, I’m doing it. I’m translating Homer into isiZulu. And there are so many different ways to start that it doesn’t feel like I’ve begun. But I have.

There are about 200 translation equivalents already loaded between the two languages. Awesome.

I’ve translated some of the names. Winning.

So of course much remains, but this little diagram is a help to me in making sense of the hoops I have ti jump through when checking that I’ve encoded as much of the original information as possible into the new format.

Kuzoba nzima. Kodwa kungenzeka.

Watch this space!
