AltonicKeys he/him Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 In the Lait page of Shallan's sketchbook, at the top there's faded women's script. Images: Spoiler Here it is with contrast up: Has this already been decoded? I can't find anything on the coppermind. If not I'm ready to do so myself 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even noticed that, there could be something increadible there, good find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that when Shallan needed a new page to finish Tyn's communication-by-spanred in the tent, she used the back side of one of her drawings. I just rechecked the text, and it doesn't say such, but it is shortly after stopping at the lait. I figured it might be a factor if translating the text requires a mirror image first (i. e. it's faint because it's being seen through the paper) Edited January 20, 2023 by Treamayne SPAG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormingTexan he/him Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Awesome find! I was able to translate a small section but it looks like it is a repetition of the same thing over and over. Putting it in a spoiler tag because it is pretty major. Spoiler Drink more ovaltine! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it might be a factor if translating the text requires a mirror image first (i. e. it's faint because it's being seen through the paper) I checked and it makes a lot more sense now, giving actually coherent words.

AltonicKeys he/him Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Progress is slow, keep getting gibberish words (even more than usual) If anyone has a higher quality image than the wiki has that would help a ton, I'm working on the 1,375 × 2,048 file. Also, if this is just Tyn's communication thing and not some deep secret, I am going to go insane. Spoiler Progress so far. White text is unsure. amogus!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaRegia he/him Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 I have nothing useful to add and zero talent for decoding Alethi script... but I love puzzles. It's clear that someone (Ben McSweeney?) wanted to give us a puzzle to solve. I just want to say I'm following this development with great excitement and I appreciate all your efforts; great find! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlstrawberrySeed Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Is Women's script an alternitive English script? If not, and it is like Glyphwards, it cannot necessarily be directly translated unless there is a translation dictionary I don't know about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the word near uncle is actually 'plead' rather than bland. Might fit the sentence better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonicKeys he/him Posted February 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah that makes much more sense, thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, the second word could be 'Statement' - spelled Statmint. The only word I can think of that matches the indeys word is intrigues, spelled Intregs, making that first line "the statement that intrigues me". That might not be correct though, as the indeys word doesn't have an 'R' in it. The word between 'I' and 'sense' could possibly be 'love' - spelled Lav ? Mate, the phonetics make it tricky.

I think that the other examples we saw were always english spelling for words and not phonetic spelling (but maybe I am mistaking). If this is the case then probably this will also be english spelling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeniamorph Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Has anyone finished translating this since? I still can't find anything on the coppermind about it except that the sketchbook page is used as an example of women's script on the women's script page (though with no transcription). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
