Here's a list of all the blurry text from the translator from 1190: Time, both with the original image and enhanced contrast.
Synonyms
The cartoon reflects the uncertainty of the translator's word choices and pronunciation by obscuring the text with ink blots and overlaying them with synonyms and extra meanings in large, light letters in the background.
For example, in the second panel, "whence" appears in bold letters and "from where" appears behind it in enlarged, lighter letters.
In the third panel "here" is also glossed in the background as "to this fortress".
Grammar
A note about grammar:
- The punctuation appears to be borrowed from the translator's native language.
- The ring diacritic indicates a question mark.
- A single line above a letter is a full stop.
- A double line above a letter is colon or comma.
This might help in determining the native language a bit better.
