Milky Way Stargate Network Glyph/Syllables

[miju]

okay so there are 38 glyphs.

We know that the PoO is (At)

Terra Atlantus = (Ter)(ra)(At)(la)(nt)(us) = 6 glyphs
Proklarush Taonas = (Prok)(la)(ru)(sh)(Tao)(nas) = 6 glyphs

Taoth Vaklarush = (Tao)(th)(Vak)(la)(ru)(sh) = 6 glyphs
Vallaus Kaor = (Val)(la)(us)(Ka)(or) = this is stretching it ~~~5 glyphs

Ter
Ra
At

What do you think?

I think you need to just sit back and enjoy the show.

It's annoying when they have stuff like this be inconsistant. . . but it's better to just sit back and enjoy the show.

Quite Good! Except that you have two La's! ....

That must mean that:

Ter (Leo)

Ra (Pisces)

?? (Crater) (Shouldn' this be At seeing as At doesn't appear in the other Names?)

La (Piscis Austrinus)

Nt (Capricornus)

Us (Norma)

------------------
?? (2nd PoO) (Sextants)

At (Earth PoO) (?)

-------------------

Well, it's possible that the Sounds don't match up to the Glyphs in that Order.... It could be another, but that would eb the most likely.... possibly...

[miju]

I wonder if any PoO is called "At"?

[miju]

Updated list including Dakara.................

I think with stargate you have to have an open mind to their mistakes. you just need to just assume things. i did the same thing at first and found out it was much more enjoyable if you have an open mind.

[Keeper]

i think we need to remember what was established by daniel in atlantis.


the ancient language has altered incredibly from the time of merlin/arthur, let alone their earlier history.


lets remember that these gates are OLD. older than arthur.

so... why would their syllables relate directly to what we have as the ancient language in its current form? let alone english - which dakara may well be, for example.

[Bragi]

Wasn't Dakara named by the Goa'uld?

I agree with bragi, have fun and watch the show and try not to over analyze everything and try to figure out everything with the show.

[Keeper]

i dunno, but whoever named each planet, the currently-identifiable name is almost certainly extremely different from whatever the original name is...


i just used dakara as a possible english name as an example to show that

I think... I think it makes little to no sense at all as a writing system, mate. I've done some light studying into the subject of assorted writing systems, and to write out anything like this seems completely unnatural.

I'm familiar with logographic and syllabic writing systems, and this makes sense for neither. 38 symbols is hardly enough for a logographic writing system, and syllabic systems rarely, if ever, have more than one consonant per symbol and are virtually always followed up by a vowel. (The Japanese /tsu/ and /n/ symbols being the exceptions that come immediately to mind here.)

There are a few syllabic writing systems that've overcome the difficulty of consonant clusters, however - some combine symbols.

Also, another problem is that the gate addresses are coordinates, not words. Although the possibility exists that a planet could be known by the phonetic value of its address, I don't think that's the case as 'Atlantis' translates into 'land of Atlas.' Also, -is is an extremely common ending in mythological Greek names. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what it entails.

Interesting post Syera, I'm curious to learn more about what exactly are logographic scripts.....I'm starting to study Japanese in school so I can follow what you're saying with that.

But I'm not trying to say it's a full fledged writing system. I don't think you could write - 'How are you, mate?" with gate glyphs but I think it was a very restricted system for naming star systems and multiple worlds within that system.

[Syera]

This site is pretty cool if you're wanting to learn about assorted writing systems.

Fascinating as Spock would say........
