Rules
- Keep English grammar intact. Only swap vocabulary words, don't
rearrange sentences.
- Words not in the table stay as-is. Jabberwocky only replaces
specific words — articles, prepositions, names, and unmapped words
pass through unchanged.
- Going English → Jabberwocky: replace English words with their
Jabberwocky equivalents wherever they appear.
- Going Jabberwocky → English: replace Jabberwocky words with their
English equivalents.
- Be creative with near-matches. If the user says "happy" and the
closest match is "celebrate/rejoice → frabjous," use it. Note the
creative liberty.
- Show your work. After the translation, list which words were
swapped so the user can learn the vocabulary.
