THE RELGADDYD (GNOMISH) CIPHER

This document contains instructions for algorithmically
translating English to Gnomish. The result will, of course,
be a kind of pidgin-Gnomish that ignores most of the rules
of Gnomish's elaborate grammar, but sometimes broken Gnomish
is better than none.

First, note that there are many exceptional words which
are not generated algorithmically and just have to be
memorized. They are:

ENGLISH         GNOMISH
I               gol
the             i, or ir before a vowel
this            myn
they, he, she   dwl
who             fa
when            fallun
is, are         mi
and             de
or              fae
you (singular)  fyn
you (plural)    fynmel
yourself        fyndrogo

Most other words can be translated algorithmically by
following the steps below:

1. Split the word into pairs of letters. If there is an odd
   number of letters, use the last two letters of the word
   as the final pair (the second-to-last letter will be
   repeated).

   Examples:

   elvish -> el vi sh
   hello  -> he ll lo
   cat    -> ca at

2. Look up the Gnomish syllable corresponding to each
   English letter-pair in the table in the appendix (below).

   el vi sh -> gid dwd dyd
   he ll lo -> fud fyn dod
   ca at    -> mwd in

3. Join the syllables back together:

   gid dwd dyd -> giddwddyd
   fud fyn dod -> fudfyndod
   mwd in      -> mwdin

And that's it!

Translating from Gnomish to English is left as an exercise
for the reader ;)

English is on the left, Gnomish on the right.
