Description

ENGLISH TRANSLATION FURTHER BELOW!

Ein verspätetes Geburtstagsgeschenk für :iconparziwal:. Lediglich gut viereinhalb Jahre zu spät. Wir hatten damals Gespräche über alternative Interpretationen der Konstellation, die in diesem Set zu finden ist.
Lotte ist ein schön altmodischer Name. Mirsus Nehum ist eine Verballhornung von Mir-Susne-Hum/Мир-Суснэ-хум, einer Gottheit der Obugrier. Er ist der Vermittler zwischen den Göttern und Menschen, weil sein Vater Numi-Torem sich nicht um die Menschen schert. Die anderen Namen sind erfunden.

------------------------
Lotte is an old-fashioned German name. Mirsus Nehum is a corruption of Mir-Susne-Hum/Мир-Суснэ-хум, a deity of the Ob-Ugrians. He's the mediator between the gods and the humans, because his father Numi-Torem doesn't care about humans. The other names I made up.

Too bad in the English translation the structure of ein Einhornhorn 'a unicorn horn' can't be preserved, because in English the numeral one and the indefinite article a aren't identical like in German and unicorn is a Latin loanword, which translates to 'one horn', which is also the meaning of the German Einhorn. On the other hand, in the English translation I could add another pun: green (in the sense of 'clueless, naive, inexperienced') as a translation for unbedarft, because his clothing is green, y'see.
