You can check those posts for discussions and glosses of other anime, which might help you decipher these. Like the previous three parts, the plot descriptions here are based on those from Anilist, so consider using that site for reference. You can also use things like title structure, character names, and occasional numerals to help you figure things out, or you can ask me for hints, and I may or may not provide. I tried to pick fairly easy ones this time.

When you make a guess, please spoiler your answer. If you're right, I will reply with the Evangelion congratulations emoji and provide glosses. I can't guarantee that every translation is perfect, because despite inventing this language, it is still not my first language. C'est la vie.

Because we still have a few unsolved anime from previous posts, I will include them in this post with glosses of the words I've already revealed (or feel like I can say I've revealed).

A few hints

Deciphering character namesThe lengths of names may be of use but don't expect them to perfectly match their lengths in Hepburn/English. Likewise initials might not always match the Hepburn.

Names are inflected with a masculine suffix -a and a feminine suffix -e, but to prevent hiatus these go through the following sound changes:

① {a(ː).V → Vː|V = any vowel} — as in *Sakura-eSakuré

② {O(ː).V → ø(ː)|O = round vowel} — as in *Tomoyo-eTomoyǒ, or *Kló-aKlő

③ {E(ː).V → jV(ː)|E = unrounded front vowel} — as in *Miyuki-aMiyukya

The sound change for front vowels may trigger further sound changes:

{Tj → TT|T = alveolar consonant} — but note that alveolar geminates are realized as palatals

ji(ː) → iː

In that order.

Note however that proper nouns occasionally do not refer to characters, in which case the gender the name is inflected as may not be of much use to you.

Other revelations about the grammar and word derivationIt has by this point been cracked or revealed that...

  1. -t́ forms verbs and -ćk forms active participles.
  2. to is a preposition, but its exact meaning has not yet been revealed.
  3. -v is a suffix used to form the construct state. This means that the following word modifies or possesses the previous.
  4. The root ruň means "head"; it is the root in yeTruňeyne and sokruňeynevńe.

With that out of the way, here are the three titles for this quiz:

1: Raykmaŕa Zed

G**ǒ byaḱot́a so yadravša dara G****a. No, lana zbat́eyv čuc̋uckey he, yőri xit́i. G**ǒ koto nǒney dum F***á, S**a, o Bő ňa šakruňet́eyde, šo ša : markeynav deska.

Sorry you're still not feeling well! This illness really isn't letting you off easy, huh.

I'm 100% confident about #3:

#3 guessit's Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Aside from the title, even though I've only seen the first episode (really ought to get back to it) I do recall it being set in some kind of World's Fair thing where MC-kun and his uncle (grandpa?) were entering a plane in a competition, so 1889 seems about right. Don't know the overarching plot, but "Alantic" and/or "Atlantis" both jive with "Blue Water."

Nothing immediately springs to mind for the other two, but I'll look at them more closely later when I have a bit more time to ponder them. Oh, I guess I can throw out a random guess for #2 based purely on the title:

#2 guess3-gatsu no Lion? Haven't seen it (I think it's about either chess or shogi?), so it's purely off the number in the title.

...wait, maybe Mitsuboshi Colors? I don't remember the names of the cast, but Ueno makes me think of Ueno Park in Tokyo, and I remember a lot of their shenanigans (including pointing an RPG at a cop) happened in a big public park. Three character names being listed right off the bat also indicates a strong link between the characters from the get-go, since I think most synopses would spend a few sentences describing how the characters meet and thus the names would be spread out more.

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

In 1889, the world is on the pinnacle of great discoveries in technology. In mankind's grasp for the future, a sinister foe known only as Gargoyle, obsessed with restoring the former Atlantean empire to the glory it once held, begins his plans to take over the world. Nadia, with the help of a young inventor, Jean Raltique, and the mysterious captain Nemo of the submarine Nautilus, must fight to save the world from Gargoyle and Neo-Atlantis. Based on the Novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' by Jules Verne.

Mitsuboshi Colors

Hark! The city is in peril! Who you gonna call? Colors!

Sacchan, Yui and Kotoha are here to protect the city, solving mysteries and battling enemies with help from their friends. But their quest isn't an easy one as their arch-nemesis Saitou, the violent police officer of Ueno, meets them at every turn.

Side note but the longer I go on the more grawlixed I feel like the gender and verb system of this lang is, I honestly cannot keep track of it all.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

TIL the word grawlix...definitely gonna have to integrate that into my lexicon. Is it commonly used amongst conlangers, or is it a word you picked up independently?

How does one keep track of the rules of a conlang, anyhow? My computer toucher background makes Backus-Naur form top of mind, but I don't know if it's expressive enough to handle morphology and phonology (e.g. suprasegmental features).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I definitely learned about grawlixes independently, but comic trivia also seems like the sort of thing a lot of conlangers would happen to also be interested in.

I use my dictionary to check vocabulary and grammatical gender, sometimes the dictionary also includes some grammatical information or set phrases. I also have a document covering just the grammar in plain terms, without any sort of fancy notation, but I don't actually look at that document very often. I mainly just use my memory and use past translations as reference.
