Original poster of that Huck Finn excerpt.
I will translate:
>The cow up and died on my hands(in ownership)
<so you lost ten dollars.
>No I didn't lose it all. I only lost about 9 dollars of it. I sold the hide and tallow for a dollar and ten cents.
<You had five dollars and ten cents left. Did you speculate any more?
>Yea. You know that one legged nigger that belong to old mister Brandish? Well, he set up a bank, and said that anybody who that put in a dollar would get four dollars at the end of the year. Well, all the niggers went in,(put in a dollar,) but they didn't have much. I was the only one that had much(money) So I stuck out,(held out for,) more than four dollars, and I said if I didn't get it,(the four dollars,) I'd start a bank myself. Well, of course that nigger wanted to keep me out of that business, because he said there wasn't business enough for two banks, so he said I could put in,(invest,) my five dollars and he would pay me thirty five at the end of the year.
There are even thicker parts in the book in that niggerspeak. sometimes, you just had to read it out loud,(in your head,) and listen to the sounds to make sense of it.
Niggers...
Niggers never change...
