nuqjatlh?? "WTF?"

I tried to paste the link into my browser, it only gave me a "Page cannot be displayed" message. I don't think we, as forums members can post images. Pls provide a link. I'll take a look at it.

(See Images in Posts post.)

FYI: Usually if you replace the brackets with http:// it will link to the image. I do not know what is happening with this one. Nor does Klythe. Zan melzar, can you post the URL to the html page? The address you posted appears to be that of a file server.

Thank you, Kesv.

This is nothing that I am able to read, meaning they are not part of the pIqaD used on the web currently, nor is it Japanese, German, or English.

And, to set your mind at ease, it isn't Korean, Thai, Russian, Cherokee, Chinese, cuneiform, or any other system of writing I know by sight.

The first character of the first "word" is the pIqaD symbol for "y", as in {yot} "to invade" or {yatlh} "to be pregnant". The second and third characters of the first word appear to be the pIqaD for {l}, rotated 90 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively.

Word 2: character 1 appears to be the {l} symbol upside down, char 2 looks like {w} rotated 90 deg counterclockwise, and char 3 is what I know as the pIqaD symbol for {l} as in {lon} "to abanon" and {lam} "to be dirty" or "dirt".

Word 3, char 2 is the pIqaD symbol for {ng}, as in {ngoQ} "goal", and {ngo'} "to be old (not young)". I do not recognize char 3 at all. Char 5 appears to be the pIqaD {l} upside down with another {l} superimposed on it, but I otherwise do not recognize it. Char 6 appears to be the symbol for {gh}, rotated 135 deg clockwise.

Word 4, char 1 is the pIqaD for {gh}, as in {ghem} "midnight snack" and {ghIch} "nose". Char 2 is also pIqaD, {w}, as in {wej} "not yet" and {wam} "to hunt".

Word 6, char 5 looks like the pIqaD {a}, flipped along its vertical axis, then rotated counterclockwise 45 degrees or so.

If I missed any, let me know, and I hope this contributes to whatever goal you have.

Thanks,
