First Ones Linguist

I’m studying the language of the First Ones and created a translator.

I probably shouldn’t say where I found this, because this might just be a found that could make me famous. Even though the language is read right to left, I’m translating left to right because it’s easier.

T-A-EE-M (→ tame) OW-O-D ( → ?) T-A-EE-M (→ tame) [again] B-A-D (→ bad or bed?) AY-K? ( → ache) T-A-EE-M ( → tame) [yet again] B-A-D (→ bad or bed?) AY-Z (→ ace?) O-I-S-D-U-H (→ oyster?)

I can’t read anything after that, but even these words are mysterious. They don’t sound like actual descriptions but more like something you’d hear in a bad dream.

Weird ruin again, with script once written left to right, once right to left. I think it’s a similar door to this one, so it should say “Eternia” as well. Just somebody messed the right wing of the door up, which was supposed to spell out “Eter~”.

N-EE-U (→ ~nia)

Went to Salineas the other day. The entire city is a ghost town, it’s very creepy.

S-AH-L-I-N-OW-AH-S (→ Salineas)

S-OW (→ So?)

G-AY-T (→ Gate)

Yep, my stupid hand was in the way. I don’t think this says anything either way.

M-N-M ? P-EE-P ? B-OW-B ?

Or any combination? Maybe it’s just decor.

Oh, I forgot. Another researcher, Dr Works, wrote a paper about the language of the First Ones, which inspired me a lot.

Found this in an old cave in the Whispering Woods. What is surprising is not that it references “She-Ra” but that the name is mirrored. Normally you’d read from right to left, but on She-Ra’s right you need to read left to right. Interesting especially since the rest of the mosaic is not symmetrical.

SH-EE-R-AH (→ She-Ra)

There is an old building in the Whispering Woods. I wanted to get inside, but the Door wouldn’t budge. I wonder what this “Eternia” is.

EE-T-O-R N-EE-U ( → Eternia)

Same weird ruin as before.

Artifact Number: S01E01-17:01

EE-T-O-R N-EE-U ( → Eternia)

[first-ones-linguist]

I found this in some weird ruin.

L-A-EE-T ( → Light) H-OW-P ( → Hope)

This is the inscription that made me want to become a first ones linguist, even though I’m still not sure how to translate it correctly.

1. T-E-SH-T ? maybe T-E-F-T ? 2. F-R-E-N-D (→ friend) 3. S-K-E-O-B 4. SH-EE-R-AH ( → She-Ra) 5. U-EE-N-R-P-EE

I found a way to get First Ones tech to do my bidding, so of course I now use it to help me with my studies. If you have a device that is compatible with First Ones Technology, my translator might work for you, too: http://app.slothsoft.de/shera/

Hello World!

I’m studying the language of the First Ones and want to share my findings with the world. To achieve this I’m traveling Etheria in search for bits of the language. Let’s see what I’ll find!
