Trentish leg of the 7th CONLANG Translation Relay (PDF, 49K)
The text is that which is was in the official relay, but the interlinear and the English translation are new, the originals being lost (at least until the full 7th Relay gets put online). The Trentish text has been respelled to match current orthography, but not otherwise corrected.
