Talk:Pod map
From MYSTlore
Hope I did well :) I'm hoping to receive permission from the creators to use their transliterated and depth maps. Marein 10:38, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
The apostrophe in regerah is actually a dash,which wasn't supposed to be there apparently, so I took it out. (And made the transliteration more consistent while I was at it - there was one word which had extra h's the other words didn't). Talashar 17:13, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
- Thanks. I did a transliteration myself but the one I used for the article I got from the Uru Live forums. Thought it would be more accurate... Marein 17:47, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
I'd like to replace the transliterations by Old Standard texts. Got this from DLF. Is it correct?

- OTS doesn't use the digraph 'ih'. 71.227.151.156 18:49, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
- The current transliteration is Old Standard, as are the h-heavy versions above. There is some variation in the system. (As far as I know ih is OTS, alternating with i.) Talashar 18:54, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
- This theory is reinforced by the fact that 'okh' means 'of', as in "movement of the sun/light/planet".
This suggests that English prepositions map 1:1 to D'ni prepositions. I don't know much about the D'ni language, but between 'real' languages, such mappings are generally not perfect (e.g., despite their obviously identical roots, the English 'for' is used in some cases where the German 'für' isn't, and vice versa).
