Languary - Day 31

Let's put it all together!

Here's the original sentence: Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress.

And in Gavath: Arladislen Vruik-ihe et rhadud efi 'ash lerislen vathanus ki idged jen.

I'm not entirely certain I've got the word order correct, since I have no idea how a VSO language should treat a phrase like "which seems." But hey! It's done!

The "which seems" etc. is a modifier of the noun "beauty"! It's called an adjective clause, I believe. So it would be structured internally according to the sentence structure of the language, but would be placed within the sentence according to the noun-adjective order.

Aha, I figured the "which seems" etc. was a modifier of "beauty" but I couldn't quite work it out! So I guess I did get it right, since adjectives go after nouns. Yay! Thanks :D

Glad to help~ I've been digging into some pretty bizarre English grammatical features for several of these posts. >.>
