Long before I finally got around to HTMLizing the various parts of the inverse relay which people had emailed to me, Arthaey put up her own version of this round's text and corrections on her own website.

Elliott Lash's Asha'ille text

Arthaey Angosii's corrected Asha'ille text

Elliott Lash's smooth English translation of the text

This is about a boy. Once upon a time, he rested beneath the night-sky. He was a night-watcher. He tried to see the stars, but when the night came, he could not see them. He began to feel sad and melancholy. A young-girl came to him (she was a beloved). She asked 'why are you feeling melancholy'? He answered 'I can't see the stars!' She replied 'you should come out from under the darkness of the building.'

Comments on the corrections made

See Arthaey's own corrections page, which has better formatting than I could easily reproduce here.
