If you visit the Designs/Artwork/Creativity forum, you've seen Distant Horizon, and one of the languages I'm creating for it, Grui. Krenim just released information on Ui, a DH station group. Notice that all the planet/star/moon and station names there are in Grui...thus, the challenge is to translate them! Give them a try, even if it's just one or two...I'll give awards for the best/most accurate translations of each name. Feel free to ask any questions, since Grui is different in structure from English (especially with the case endings and so on).

Excellent...those are pretty good, although everyone else is free to try better versions.

Omega has a bright future ahead of him as a translator of Grui literature, if any will ever exist.
