In our ongoing translation project we've finally reached out of those big long chapters of pretty much names and not much else. In fact, we've reached two of them. As tempting as it is to skip them entirely, that's the sort of thing liable to get one excommunicated, and besides, poor old Dan put a lot of effort into finding transliterations for some of these names.
Since the random number generator can't be relied upon to give me anything but names to make graphics of, I've just gone and picked the ones that I thought were more viable and ran the randomiser on them. Believe me, this is a better option for everyone involved.
Beginnings 10
1 Now these are the families of the sons of the man who built the water car, the first son, the second son, and the third son: and to them were sons made after the lots of water.
2 The sons of the third son; "Go More", and "More God", and "Mad Eye", and "Yeah Fun", and "Two Ball", and "Miss Each", and "Tire As".
3 And the sons of "Go More"; "Ask An As", and "Rest Have", and "To Go Mark".
4 And the sons of "Yeah Fun"; "Else Sigh Share", and "Tea hard ships", "Kid Team", and "Do day him".
5 By these were the lands all around with water of the people who were not from God's chosen people; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their lands.
6 And the sons of the second son; "Kiss", and "Miss Rain", and "Foot", and "Can In".
7 And the sons of "Kiss"; "See Bar", and "Have All Are", and "Sad Tire", and "Run Are", and "Sad Take Are": and the sons of "Run Are"; "She Bar", and "Dead An".
8 And "Kiss" had "Name Road": he began to be a great one in the world.

9 He was great at killing animals before the god: where for it is said, Even as "Name Road" the great at killing animals guy before the god.
10 And the beginning of his land was "Buy Ball", and "Ear Rock", and "are Card", and "Call Near", in the land of "She Near".
11 Out of that land went forward "As Her", and built "New Never", and the city "Red How Box", and "Call Are",
12 And "Resting" between "New Never" and "Call Are": the same is a great city.
13 And "Miss Rain" had "Loud in", and "An Am In", and "Lean Have In", and "Nod Foot Are Him",
14 And "Pass Rush Him", and "Cat Shoe Him", (out of who came "Fill Is Them",) and "Cat Or Him".
15 And "Can An" had "Seat On" his first son, and "He Is",
16 And the "Job Us Sight", and the "Am All Right", and the "Guy Guy Sight",
17 And the "He Fight", and the "Are Cry It", and the "Seen Night",
18 And the "Are Fact Eyed", and the "Seem All Right", and the "Him At Hide": and later were the families of the sons of "Can An" found across the world.
19 And the edge of the land of the sons of "Can an" was from "Side On", as you come to "Chair Are", to "Guys Are"; as you go, to "Sold Home", and "Go More Are", and "Add More", and "See Bore Him", even to "Last ha".
20 These are the sons of the second son, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and in their lands.
21 To "Slam" also, the father of all the children of "He Bar", the brother of "Wrap Lets" the older, even to him were children given.
22 The children of the first son; "He Land", and "As Her", and "Are Facts Sad", and "Led", and "Are Am".
23 And the children of "Are Am"; "Us", and "Hall", and "Get Her", and "Mays".
24 And "Are Facts Sad" had "Sir Laugh"; and "Sir Laugh" had "He Bar".
25 And to "He Bar" were given two sons: the name of one was "Pair Leg"; for in his days was the world shared; and his brother's name was "Joked An".
26 And "Joked An" had "All Mad Add", and "She Left", and "Has Arm Have Is", and "Goer Are",
27 And "Had Or Am", and "Ours All", and "Drink Laugh",
28 And "Oh Ball", and "A Be May All", and "She Bar",
29 And "Off Here", and "Have A Laugh", and "Job Add": all these were the sons of "Joked An".
30 And their land was from "Me Share", as you go to "See Far" a large rock place of the place on the right of a picture of places.
31 These are the sons of the first son, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their lands.
32 These are the families of the sons of the man who made, after their families, in their lands: and by these were the lands set out in the world after the lots of water.
Beginnings 11
1 And the whole world was of one way of using words, and of one tongue.
2 And it came to pass, as they went from the place on the right of a picture of places, that they found a even land in the land of "She Near"; and they lived there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make rock boxes, and burn them well. And they had rock boxes for rock, and not clean water had they for sticking the rock boxes together.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tall house, which has a top may reach to the sky; and let us make us a name, in case we are sent away across the face of the whole world.
5 And the god came down to see the city and the tall house, which the children of men built.
6 And the god said, Check it out, the people is one, and they have all one tongue; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be held back from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confuse their way of using words, that they may not understand one each other one's tongue.
8 So the god sent them away from there upon the face of all the world: and they left off to build the city.
9 For this reason is the name of it called "By Ball"; because the god did there confuse the way of using words of all the world: and from there did the god send them away upon the face of all the world.
10 These are the children of "Slam": "Slam" was an hundred years old, and had "Are Facts Sad" two years after the lot of water:
11 And "Slam" lived after he had "Are Facts Sad" five hundred years, and had sons and daughters.
12 And "Are Facts Sad" lived five and three tens of years, and had "Sir Laugh":
13 And "Are Facts Sad" lived after he had "Sir Laugh" four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters.
14 And "Sir Laugh" lived three tens of years, and had "He Bar":
15 And "Sir Laugh" lived after he had "He Bar" four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters.
16 And "He Bar" lived four and three tens of years, and had "Pair Leg":
17 And "He Bar" lived after he had "Pair Leg" four hundred and three tens of years, and had sons and daughters.
18 And "Pair Leg" lived three tens of years, and had "Real":
19 And "Pair Leg" lived after he had "Real" two hundred and ten less one years, and had sons and daughters.
20 And "Real" lived two and three tens of years, and had "Shrug":
21 And "Real" lived after he had "Shrug" two hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters.
22 And "Shrug" lived three tens of years, and had "Near Or":
23 And "Shrug" lived after he had "Near Or" two hundred years, and had sons and daughters.
24 And "Near Or" lived one less than three tens of years, and had "Tear Are":
25 And "Near Or" lived after he had "Tear Are" an hundred and twenty less one years, and had sons and daughters.
26 And "Tear Are" lived seven tens of years, and had "A Bar Am", "Near Or", and "He Ran".
27 Now these are the children of "Tear Are": "Tear Are" had "A Bar Am", "Near Or", and "He Ran"; and "He Ran" had "Lot".
28 And "He Ran" died before his father "Tear Are" in the land where he started, in "Are" of the "Child He's".
29 And "A Bar Am" and "Near Or" took themselves wives: the name of "A Bar Am's" wife was "Sir Eye"; and the name of the wife of "Near Or", "Mark Are", the daughter of "He Ran", the father of "Mark Are", and the father of "Is Car".
30 But "Sir Eye" could not make children; she had no child.
31 And "Tear Are" took "A Bar Am" his son, and Lot the son of "He Ran" his son's son, and "Sir Eye" his son's wife, his son "A Bar Am's" wife; and they went out with them from "Are" of the "Child He's", to go into the land of "Can An"; and they came to "He Ran", and lived there.
32 And the days of "Tear Are" were two hundred and five years: and "Tear Are" died in "He Ran".
Phew, on with the plot next week.
