Originally posted by SelmakI will point out that it is NOT translated completely... we are still missing the letters Q,X,Z and numbers.
Your sig is nice but I will also point out that there is no evidence of spaces or punctuation in Ancient (At least in the dialect that is found in Atlantis).

ok, well i've translated the text that in affinity 'the trust' wanted daniel to translate into goa'uld. sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. it reads (in english):
ACTUAL WORDS ARE
HARD TO DECIPH(ER)
SO THIS(')LL WORK
stuff in brackets is stuff that wasn't in the text, note punctuation.
what do people think this means and why did the trust want it in goa'uld?"It's going to look pretty good, then, isn't it," said War testily, "the One Horseman and Three Pedestrians of the Apocralypse."
