Lost In The Translation 4

[Logain]

The language class was given another assignment of translations, once again as large as the last one, and of course they have it all mixed up. But what's new. The class was divided into two groups to work out the translation.

The two groups really had trouble this time around. They had to translate simple phrases or compound words, and while the first group of students were good at keeping the phrases together, they completely screwed up their translations. The second group was much better at the translating, but didn't group anything together. Can you help them out?

For more background on the last three puzzles, visit my puzzle site Logain's Puzzle Page, and try either 8,11, or 18.

The lists....

A. avoid some bits
B. buck stop
C. congregated to give
D. cursed helper
E. cried out fastener
F. long eared depart
G. lovely female paper collection
H. marine creature window
I. mid abdomen low pitch
J. required deer
K. storage of predictor
L. theatrical lack of interest
M. twist of nurtured
N. vibratory murmur melodic songs
O. violate a dock

1. apiece
2. baked good
3. belt
4. bottom
5. bug
6. buttocks
7. condiment
8. wheel
9. evaluate
10. grain
11. hurt
12. locks
13. marine
14. might
15. money
16. nip

18. delivery
19. pit
20. pressed
21. income
22. receding

Oh, and for anyone who hasn't been around for the previous versions of this puzzle when I posted them, and didn't check my link above , the pairs and matches are related homonyms.

[Zealot]

Well, since no one has replied to Logain's puzzle, here's what I got at a glance:

H. (?,11) ... Pane/Pain
I. (?,4) ... Bass/Base ?

More if I have time to actually look at this later

[Logain]

Hmmmm, lack of interest or did I make this one tougher than the previous ones...since they all were solved in just a couple days.

Zealot is correct on both partials if that helps.

[Quailman]

I'm glad you said these are tougher than the previous ones. I looked at this when you first posted it and got depressed because I couldn't get any. Now that I've seen Zealot's post, I can get 2 partials.

[Marvin]

Required deer - needed doe - kneaded dough - pressed + money?

[Logain]

I changed a few since after Quailman's comment I realized there were too many that had double meanings. You can tell which ones in the bottom list are updated since they're not in alphabetical order anymore.

Marvin is very close...one mistake.

[ZutAlors!]

How about:

D = (24, 27) band/banned aide/aid
M = (?, 2) bred/bread
O = (?, 1) pier/per

[GH]

I (13,4) = Naval Base (navel + bass) -- thanks, Zealot

A = (?, 16) byte/bite

[Quailman]

WOOHOO! I get to steal oone from Zut!

M = (10, 2) wry bred/ rye bread

[GH]

Marvin, maybe "dough" = "wet meal" instead of "money"

[ShadowDragyn]

K: storage = cache/cash = money?

[GH]

B (6, 23) = rear end ??

[Quailman]

Melodic songs/opportunity: chants/chance

[Quailman]

paper collection/singers: quire/choir

[GH]

Good one, Quailman.

N (1, 17) = perchance (purr/chants)

[GH]

Good one again!

G (29, 24) Bell Choir (belle, quire)


C'mon. Tee up another one for me.

[Quailman]

F(12,26) Hair Dye/Hare die

[Quailman]

K (15,21) Cache Prophet/ Cash Profit

Thanks, Shadow Dragyn!

[ShadowDragyn]

D (3, 27) banned aide/band aid

Partly from Zut's guess.

[Quailman]

delivery/dock: birth/berth

[GH]

Quail, you're the man! I'd say:

O (23, 18): Breech Birth (breach + berth)

[Logain]

*Whew*, just got out of a meeting and I think I finally updated the list. Good job so far.

[Logain]

Sorry GH, I had to take away credit for one...wasn't quite correct yet

[GH]

Doh! What means "breach" then? Receding?

[Quailman]

Buttocks=breech=breach=violate

[GH]

Oh, yeah. I knew that. I was trying to get to the wrong word.

[Quailman]

A (5, 16) Flea Bite/ Flee Byte

[GH]

Good work, Q!

[GH]

Maybe pit = hole/whole = congregated.

[GH]

H (25, 11) = "Soul Pain" (sole, pane) ??

[Logain]

No whole or soul here.

[GH]

All right, then. This *has* to be right:

receding = bald/bawled = cried out

[GH]

E (22, 8) = Bald Tire (bawled, tyer)

[GH]

sever = break/brake = stop

[Logain]

I'll add that "pit" has nothing to do with a hole/ditch...it refers to one of its other definitions, and the reference for "buck" is a more obscure word like quire was.

[Logain]

Bump & a hint...

7-19 & 9-28 are pairings.

Two other correct halves were mentioned so far.

[This message has been edited by Logain (edited 02-08-2002 08:24 AM).]

[Quailman]

I thought 8 was used already.

[Logain]

Who said anything about 8 , surely I didn't make a typo this early in the morning.

[Saxifrage]

(Jumping in for the first time...)

C (7,19) mustard seed/mustered, cede
