The Hani language text that I wrote years ago under CJ’s guidance, has been updated and is now almost ready for sale.

I just looked at your Ragi translation of the Babel story. Would the atevi use the same translation for God, Aija Dhailia, as for Bren’s title: Lord of the Heavens?!? o_O I am uncertain how much religion remains in spacefaring Human culture, but that translation might give a jolt to anyone still practicing!
The Babel Project is an endeavor to highlight constructed languages (conlangs) by showing off the grammar and the morphology for other conlangers. No attempt is made to account for how such a translation would be received by fictitious characters in a book. Yes, I used the term Aija Dhailia, Lord of the Sky or Heavens, as my term for God of the Universe. I am assuming that Bren’s title is not quite so universal.
I am thinking in Bren’s culture, religion is treated like we treat the myths of ancient peoples long gone. We translate Gilgamesh, but don’t really want to incorporate his beliefs into our lives.
Nice little nod to the possibility of Cyteen really existing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/new-study-shows-closest-earth-like-planet-stroll-across-park-possibly-13-light-years-away/2013/02/06/16785ec0-7085-11e2-b3f3-b263d708ca37_story.html
