Translation fun.

I brought some of my sister's stew to the Sanctuary the other day. Rabbitish and oninonish, I say 'ish' because the ingredients aren't exactly rabbit and onion, but close to it. Most people declined an offering, but Some had some and rather liked it.

I was talking to Laruna today and mentioned it to her. Said, "Some liked the stew." but instead of saying "Some" as the name, I used my world's word for some. So she wanted to know what the other had to say about it. I said that they didn't have any. So she wanted to know how could they dislike it, if they didn't have it. We went back and forth on this before I realized what happened and I said, "No, Some a Grue." What she heard was "Some Agrew" Agrew is a type of herb, medicinal sort, usually used for bathroom sorts of problems. So she got me some agrew, while laughing.

I got it to her eventually.
