I am looking for translation in Basque to English for one sentence, if anyone could help out, Thanks in advance. The sentence is "The Time that Time Forgot". I know denbora, epe, arte, and alti all may have some root in Basque. Also hori seems to mean "that", "the" has several conjugations like du, har etc. None of this is set in stone just some things I have come across on the net. I think in Spanish it is something like El tiempo de que el tiempo se olivido???

Thanks
Dana

Sorry, guy. I learnt few basque because it was forbidden when I was a kid.

I know that "denbora" means "time", and that "ahantzi" means "forget". Also, the suffix "-la" means "that", but I can only guess how to put this together, because it's quite an unusual phrase, and thanks to General Franco I don't know very well my own language.

I'll edit this later if I find out.

In case you need one, a link to a dictionary
