Hi Kyven

Thanks for posting that Smile

the next ones from Tehl, the last one is pretty straight forward

hahr rahm gah shorah means
year good and peace

The other two are definitely more complicated, breaking the words down into smaller pieces just makes it mind boggling.

rehbahntahn tehleeehn themtee

the rehbahntahn I think means 'the Maker'. Looking at that word again I don't think it means 'the maker'. Reh means the, but bah could mean beast? But tahn added on the end changes the word like create would become creator.

The next two words are confusing to me, again I'm only guessing after looking at various word translations that tehleeehn could mean 'has it'. The three e's together just doesn't look right to me, so there could be another word there as well? Themtee I have no idea what that means, I know 'tee' is plural like 'shorah b'shemtee' means 'peace to you all'.

As for 'thihsay joyshah lahntdrm' I have no idea what that means. Do you have any images of the script? I keep thinking there should be an apostrophe amongst some of it

The lantern text was easy to see, but could not be viewed from just one angle. So I have to post about 4 pics for you too see what I did.

There seems to be a difference in the translation of the script above the classroom and the other places that it's featured. Just looked in the linguistic's fellowship forum and they have it as :

rebahntahno teneeen shemtee

I'm certain I have the text correct.

The text is easier to read inside the Library. If and when you get in there, look at the border around the top.


Oh, and it also occurs at the Ferry Terminal in Ae'gura.

The lantern, by the way, is just kind of a lame joke: notice, if you try to say 'this is a lantern' while very drunk, that's what it sounds like.
