Artificial language translation puzzle: using the mappings (gorblflur = fan belt, pixngorbl = ceiling fan, arthtusl = tile roof), determine which option means 'ceiling tile' by recombining morphemes

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: pixnarth

Explanation:


Given data

  • gorblflur = fan belt
  • pixngorbl = ceiling fan
  • arthtusl = tile roof
  • Goal: 'ceiling tile'


Concept/Approach (why this method)

Extract consistent morphemes: identify parts that repeat across phrases to map English words to the constructed language, then recombine in the requested order.


Step-by-Step decoding
1) From fan belt (gorblflur) and ceiling fan (pixngorbl), the common piece gorbl = fan; thus pixn = ceiling, flur = belt.2) From tile roof (arthtusl), deduce arth = tile and tusl = roof.3) Combine 'ceiling' + 'tile' ⇒ pixn + arth = pixnarth.


Verification/Alternative

Check order: examples place modifiers in the same left-to-right order as English (e.g., tile roof → arthtusl). So ceiling tile → pixnarth is consistent.


Common pitfalls

  • Confusing gorbl (fan) with flur (belt).
  • Reversing word order.


Final Answer
pixnarth
