Rules

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