I mentioned in yesterday's post that the newly-created dictionary for Sambahsa on GoldenDict (a kind of dictionary software) is best for reading content that has already been created, and with a bit of time today I tested this out. Using Le Petit Prince / The Little Prince in Sambahsa , I have looked up every word in the dedication while pretending to be an English speaker that does not know much or anything about other languages (least of all Sambahsa) to see how easy it is to go through a story like this with dictionary in hand.The quick conclusion: quite good, and will be much better with further tweaking. Verb conjugation is the biggest problem here (appears a lot but does not have its own entry), plus some rough edges here and there such as entries likewhich technically do not bring up a search result for either quan or quando.Also, reading Sambahsa in this way is way, way more enjoyable than otherwise (a .txt file on a large page in Firefox using ctrl-f to search). Words likeandI really do not enjoy learning in grammatical tables as I much prefer to see words in context, and seeing them in practice is much nicer.-----Here it is word by word:ad = atbuedo = ?pardon = pardonim = to themmagv = childob = because ofdedievs = ? may recognize dedie (dedicate)tod = thisbuk = bookuni = to a(n)balirh = adultho = ?un = anserieus = seriousexcuse = excuseso = thatbalirh = adultest = isis = thesellst = ? but may recognize sell (good)prient = friendho = ?tienxia = everywhere(Question for Olivier: Sambahsa doesn't needhere?ho = ?alyum = ?excuse = excuseso = thatbalirh = adultghehdt = ghehdt doesn't exist but ghehd (can, is able) is obvious enough.prete = understandquant = allhatta = evenbuks = bookspro = formagv = child, as above.ho = ?un = atrit = ?excuse = excuseso = thatbalirh = adultweict = ? the nearest entry is Weicmen, meaning "inhabited Earth, ecumene".in = inFrance = Francequer = whereis = hepaytt = sufferob = because ofhungher = hungered = andsrigos = not in dictionary, but srig = cold.
