The Biggest Inside Joke Ever*

Douglas L. Ball

30. In your own words (not copying down the lecture notes or some other source), explain the frequency/pitch difference and amplitude/loudness difference.  Your answer should not focus on the detailed differences but on their abstract/conceptual differences.

Oowise a ihaasee tseenator te sa’o. Senan a hiik to tirakin a tihor-itirak ye oowise. Oonootaa a ihaasee tseenator te sa’o. Ooquaak a hiik to tirakin a tihor-itirak ye oonootaa. Totsin-ti a haahaas te ootseenator.

*Since the joke(s) of this piece is/are especially obscure, I feel that I should explain them. The prompt for question 30 says “in your own words”, so I’ve taken that literally and written the response in Skerre, my own personal constructed language. As I devised all the words in Skerre (and all the grammar surrounding them), I have used “my own words”. The prompt also says not to copy lecture notes, but the first four sentences of my response are a translation of the lecture notes. But then again, I wrote the lecture notes I translated from; was I entitled to copy them or not?
