Popular Post cris34b he/him Posted March 5, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 On Page 406 of the hardback edition of Words of Radiance, there are 5 lines of the Alethi script on the Navani's Notebook illustration. I learned the Alethi script, and have thus translated these 5 lines. From top to bottom, they translate as follows. 1. Fabrial for an archer tower. 2. Reversal principle conjoined 3. compounded custom cut amethysts. 4. Aids in drying bowstrings. 5. Archers during the Weeping. You're welcome. Enjoy the book! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argent he/him Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Heh, I saw the page and wondered whether it will remain untranslated for more than a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakeke Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Well done! Though you left out the "of" in #2/3: Reversal principle of conjoined compounded custom cut amethysts. I also noticed a short line above the drawing of the archers during the weeping that reads "Idea". The archer tower diagram has numerals for 1-4, which is interesting because the 4 matches the number on Kaladin's Bridge 4 patch. So we can infer that even though men and women use different writing systems, they use the same numerals. It also seems like Navani has found a source of better-quality drafting ink! The individual letters are much easier to make out this time! Edited March 6, 2014 by harakeke 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris34b he/him Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Oh god, right? Took so long in WoK to read the smudged tiny letters. This set took me about 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
