Septaglyphs

[scarrabee]

could anyone write a help for Septaglyphs or something like it

I was looking at the old forum the all the images have dissapeared there
(http://s7.zetaboards.com/Brackenwood/topic/428821/1/)

Septaglyphs are the only thing I use about the sarus but I kinde forget how it exacly works again so it would be great if I could relearn it

I'll do up a short guide. I think I still have some of the images from the old site.

The old board appears to be buggy and/or annoying. I reconfigured it to allow guests to view images and it was all working fine, but then I boosted the max images allowed per post and suddenly all images stopped showing. I'll try to move all the srs stuff here some time in the future.

[soruf domis]

Oh no!!! The images themselves seem to be fine, but something is screwed server side, having to do either with a php script or forum script or whatever.

I'll try to post a word document with the septaglyph tutorial with images.

Yay, I havn't been here in ages and I just spent like 30 minutes looking around your site for the Sarus stuff. I thought you'd gotten rid of it. 

[soruf domis]

Finally got around to typing the thing up, but to my pleasant surprise, is that if you coy it all, then paste it in something like a word document, voila! The images are there. =D yay. Since I don't know how to add attachments, or don't have the rights to add attachments, you'll have to do it yourself, but its easy.

Thanks for the copy/paste trick. I love Septaglyphs. They're so perfect for the language. I enjoy using them whenever I write in Sarus, even though it's really time-consuming to draw it out like that. Also, if you use two one-syllable words in a row, it looks a little dumb. Otherwise, its really clever and creative.

[soruf domis]

Not as time consuming as writing english... and I'm proud to announce that I'm working on a method of telling other people (on paper) how you are writing your septaglyphs. (right to left, up to down, upper left to lower right etc.) including what is considered the "top" of the page.

[Relym]

The other thing I wanted to ask is this; Is Sarus written in columns or lines?

[soruf domis]

I don't think there's any "standard" way. I'm guessing any way would be fine, but it would be good to identify it somehow on the paper. (Which part is the top, which way are you writing? etc)

[Relym]

Thanks. I just need to get used to writing them now

DECIPHER!!!!

yours says: "hello" at the top, then "rainy evening"
remember the curve rules.. I'll do a Flash tut on them soon if you're not sure how they work.

Here's one for you:

"shut your eyes" thaught it was going to be mouth. 
I like the shape you used, makes it easier to read.

here is another one..
hopefully I did it right, imageshack kinda wrecked up the image.
just ignore the zombie, I just got bored lol. 


DECIPHER!!!!

yeah it looks like you need to learn about glyph curves. You have a few illegal glyphs there, which aren't interpretable (the 2nd and 4th in particular).
Your 1st and 3rd glyphs have inward curves but inward is reserved for glyphs that skip a syllable and your last glyph needs an s-curve to go from m to t. Sound confusing? Well it's not really, once you know the curve rules.

I just went to the old forum to get the old septaglyph lessons and posted them for you HERE. Looking forward to your updated zombie
