You can check those posts for discussions and glosses of other anime, which might help you decipher these. Like the previous two parts, the plot descriptions here are based on those from Anilist, so consider using that site for reference; you can also use things like title structure, character names, and occasional numerals to help you figure things out.

Last time, only one of the three anime were deciphered, so I will reprint the two unsolved ones with glosses of the "solved words" now.

Unsolved from the previous post

A few hints

Deciphering character namesThe lengths of names may be of use but don't expect them to perfectly match their lengths in Hepburn/English. Likewise initials might not always match the Hepburn.

Names are inflected with a masculine suffix -a and a feminine suffix -e, but to prevent hiatus these go through the following sound changes:

① {a(ː).V → Vː|V = any vowel} — as in *Sakura-eSakuré

② {O(ː).V → ø(ː)|O = round vowel} — as in *Tomoyo-eTomoyǒ, or *Kló-aKlő

③ {E(ː).V → jV(ː)|E = unrounded front vowel} — as in *Miyuki-aMiyukya

The sound change for front vowels may trigger further sound changes:

{Tj → TT|T = alveolar consonant} — but note that alveolar geminates are realized as palatals

ji(ː) → iː

In that order.

Note however that proper nouns occasionally do not refer to characters, in which case the gender the name is inflected as may not be of much use to you.

Other revelations about the grammar and word derivationIt has by this point been cracked or revealed that...

  1. -t́ forms verbs and -ćk forms active participles.
  2. to is a preposition, but its exact meaning has not yet been revealed.
  3. -v is a suffix used to form the construct state. This means that the following word modifies or possesses the previous.
  4. The root ruň means "head"; it is the root in yeTruňeyne and sokruňeynevńe.

With that out of the way, let's get into the new titles to translate! Please spoiler your guesses.

~~1: YeĆapeyniv Ňátaňski~~

~~U. H****ő ňa pe-2-a so huynav tmocka ušat́ade korobev xaynanske na dohe dum pedećka... No yakruňeyneyvša ňa ariḱi so yayavša kruňta mpe!

The Quintessential Quintuplets / Go-toubun no Hanayome: Uesugi Fuutarou, a high school second-year from a poor family, receives a highly appealing offer to work part-time as a tutor... but his students turn out to be girls from his own class! What's more, they're quintuplets... and all five are beautiful, but happen to be problem students who have borderline grades and hate studying! Looks like his first assignment will be to win all the sisters' trust?! Every day is a wild party in this rom-com centering around the quintuplet sisters of the Nakano household!

Some notesThere are a few questionable points in the translations, including a few inconsistencies, but eh, shoganai.

Also, ňátaňski is derived from the numeral five, the root for birth, and an adjectivizing suffix.

Also, I know for a fact that you have seen at least one of the anime here — I'm maybe a little surprised that that one wasn't the one you got!

Proof of my unbridled genius, no doubt lea-smug

RE: Some notesAh, so rather than Latin nātālis is it Japanese {誕|たん}? Seems like I was right for the wrong reasons across almost everything, but hey—a win's a win!

Oh, is that so? Well, that makes me just want to stare at the text for longer in hope that I'll have a eureka moment! I think my brain generally gravitates towards taking the most masochistic brute-force path, though, so that's really par for the course.

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

RE: RE: Some notesIt's based on a word from a previous conlang I made as a preteen, and I didn't know a lick of Japanese back then, I was just throwing sounds at the wall and seeing what stuck. So unless the Language Gods were guiding my mental Ouija board back then to deliberately make the word similar to Japanese, it's a coincidence.

Oh, is that so?

Yes, and somebody just solved number 2, so the only one left is the one I figured you'd get first.
