Sanskrit set text exams. The good part about them is that the set texts are bonkers. Friday’s exam included two gems
1. ‘He treats like a ladle’
(this is an example of a word that doesn’t exist. But the idea seems to be that it doesn’t exist *only* because the sanskrit word for ‘ladle’ doesn’t end in an n, and not because you wouldn’t want to treat people like ladles. A word that does exist is ‘he becomes chain mail’, which might come in handy for the roleplayers among you)
2. ‘Next, he prays to the anthill’
(This is what it sounds like. It’s a ritual. Somebody prays to an anthill. This is considered normal, as far as I can tell)
There are two more set text papers on tuesday and wednesday. I strongly suspect they will include more ridiculousness.
