OMO

The author of the project is V. Vengerov , by profession a wood scientist, also known as an artist (his paintings are currently kept in the Perm Art Gallery ). In October 1910, the first book was published in Jacob Shubin’s printing house - a language textbook called “Project of a Scientific and International Language”. This project was presented by the author to scientists, sent out to libraries and even presented to the Emperor. The First World War, the revolution and the civil war interrupted the development of the linguoproject. However, the project received some support. And in 1927 in Sverdlovsk , a second textbook was published in the 2000th edition: “OMO is the language of Man”, 240 pages. The first 60 pages outlined the structure and grammar of the language, the second part contained a dictionary of roots. After that, a large number of circles of omists appeared, OMO was taught (optional) in some educational institutions. An association was created - Omiat and its governing body - Tsentromiat. ^{[ clarified ] [1]} In 1928, VF Kurenschikov published 5,000 copies. each series of postcards with views of the Urals (the author of the photo was V. Vengerov). Postcards were also published in the Granit printing house. These postcards had an OMO ad. In the late 20s and early 30s, Omiat had about 1,000 members. However, later, due to a change in the situation in the country, the activity of the Omist movement was discontinued. It resumed only in the 1950s. V. Vengerov renewed the propaganda of his project in the circles of interlingualists, he also addressed the leadership of the country. Despite some support, including from the authorities, the movement of the homists did not revive in the same volume, and after the death of V. Vengerov in 1959, it stopped. In the 1980s, interest in this language reappeared; history studies were conducted by members of the Sverdlovsk Esperanto Club. Articles were published in a number of newspapers, reports were presented at linguistic conferences. Were found native speakers. However, the study of OMO was conducted only as a study of the linguistic project.

The alphabet OMO is based on Latin .

• A ―A,
• B B,
• C - C,
• D - D,
• E - E,
• F - F,
• G - G,
• H - X,
• I - And,
• J - F,
• K - K,
• L - L,
• M - M,
• N - H,
• Oh - Oh,
• R - P
• Q - H,
• R - P,
• S - C,
• T - T,
• U - U
• V - B
• X - W
• Y ―Y or Ü,
• Z - Z

The alphabet has 25 letters that correspond to 25 sounds. Each letter corresponds to one sound ( phonemic letter ). Unlike Esperanto , there are no accented letters. A feature of the OMO that is unusual for Esperantids is the presence, in addition to the Latin alphabet, of a second, own alphabet. Thus, it is possible to write on OMO both in the “international” and in the original transcription . The emphasis in the full basic words falls on the penultimate vowel letter (as in Esperanto).

Most of the dictionary consists of Romance and Germanic roots, as well as internationalism of Latin origin. There is a small amount of fundamentals borrowed from or through Slavic languages.

Words are formed by joining roots and appending root endings, prefixes (there are 23) and suffixes (66).

Nouns The ending nouns in the singular is o. The final o basic words may not be used: saluto = salut. The stress remains. The end of the accusative case is n, when there is no more precise indication of the object of action and, at the same time, the addition is in front of the supplemented: petey len = petey le (ask for it); portey katon = portey kato (carry a cat). But: len petey, katon portey. The ending of the noun in the plural - i: lomo man - lomi people, xtono stone - xtoni stones. When the subject and the predicate are the same, in the reverse order of the words, the particle yu is put before the predicate: kavalo es zoo = yu zoo es kavalo (horse-animal).

Adjectives Adjective ending (does not change in numbers) - a. Active participle : -inta, -anta, -onta. Passive participle: -ita, -ata, -ota. Active infinitive : -ey (libey love). Passive infinitive: -ety (libety be loved). When introduced into the indefinite inclination of the signs of time, e goes to a (real time), i (last time), o (time): Mi volas lektay I want to read (now); Mi volas vuroy en Ameriko I want to go to America (in the future); Mi volis qeesiy I wanted to attend (in the past). If you wish to indicate the actor in the infinitive, the corresponding personal pronoun is added to the end: Mi ziras lektayti I want you to read now; Laveymi wash me. To emphasize the connection between the times, instead of es you can use is (past time), as (now), os (bud. Time): Li es gaya he is cheerful (always, according to his character); Li as gaya he is cheerful (now); Otto es felqulo Otto is lucky (always); Otto as felqulo Otto is lucky (now). Comparison: plu ... kam and maplu ... kam: Su es plu bona, kam tuo. Superlative degree: pley and mapley: Pley bona parko in la urbo.

Verbs Endings of the verb: -is (prosh. Vr.), -As (real. Vr), -os (bud vr.). In cases where the verb “to be” has its own content, the verb eseu is used: Mi esis in teatro I was in the theater. The end of the imperative - u. If you specify the exact time before u, a, i or o are saved. The passive form is formed by adding u to the passive form indikativo. The formation of imperativo is also possible with the help of esu and the corresponding participle. Kanto singing - kantu sing (te) -kantau sing (te) now. Sendou letero send (those) a letter. Punity to be punished - punitu be punished (s). Es parlanta = parlau speak now. Conditional: the end of indikativo of the active forms is replaced by -us, and in the exact designation of time, the vowels a, i, o are preserved before -us. The passive form is formed by adding -us to the passive form indikativo or by the conditional bundle of us and the passive participle: Mi povus, I could. Se le prometius, le venaus, if he promised (in the past), he would come (now). Doniu ti monetin, mi axetus al ti vinon you give me money, I would buy you some wine.

Adverbs Ending adverbs - e. Active participle : -inte, -ante, -onte. Passive adverb: -ite, -ate, -ote. Lu tivas lamante ona goes lame. Lavdate, ti rudijas being praised, you blush.

Masculine), lu she (feminine pronoun), lo (neuter, that is, for the inanimate items), ni we, vi you, zi they (general), lei they (masculine), lui onee (feminine), loi they (inanimate.) If you are friendly, the ending of y is added to the pronoun: tiy you. To show respect to the beginning, bi: biti is added to you, bile him. The impersonal pronoun - on: on parlas is spoken. Returnable - si.

Sample text (from Gogol, “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka”): Qarma es luvo Dnipr, kany as kalmo, kany libere, legate ripigas li inter boski te monti sian akvan plenega. Nik ekmovetas, nik raketetas: ti garas - qa tivas ot ne tivas lia largajo mayesta, te es semblas, ke tuta li te muldita dal vitro te ke blua spegula voyo nemezurebla sur largo, senfina sur longo, serpenta i lijas adesa neurezurebla Tany es plaqe al zolo termega cirgarey de alto te plonjey dadi en matermo del akvo vitrala, te - al qeborta boski klare revidey sin in luvo. Verdelokvai! Zi trupijas kune kun kampa fyori al akvi, sin klininte garas en zi, te ne fiqgaras, te ne fiqas admirey per zia klara okuli, te ridetas al zi, te salutas zin, livante per branxi; en mido je del Dnipro zi ne kurajas ekgarey: nikio krom zolo te blua qielo ne vidas lin, rara birdo alflugos ji mido del Dnipro. Mayesta! Ne esas sur geo luvo, ku egalas al li! Qarma es Dnipro te in terma leta nokto, kany tutkio dormas: te lomo te teto, te birdo - te nur Dio sole bimayste obeas tera te teron te bimiste pokskuas sia manton. De la manto sutat steli; steli flamas te lumas sop mondo te tutkui samtempe refiguras in Dnipro. Tutkuin zin tenas Dnipr in sia malera zeno; nik un forflugos de li - forse nur etingos sur qielo. Nera bosko, semtita per dormanta korniki, te deantike brehita monti, sin alklininte, provas kovrey lin per zia longa ombri, - te vane! Nikuo esas in la mondo, ku povus tutkovrey Dnipron.
