He left a clue on his profile!

[Pretzel]

Hmm... Interesting.

[mjm4gx]

It might be worth mentioning that this clue and the forum clue use the same letters. We're only dealing with seven letters of the alphabet.

[Pretzel]

Right-

B o ae l (I somehow think that the ae is probably meant to be "æ")

and

Bolkel Olamaa

share

b, o, a, e, l,

and the odd letters out are

k, m

[mjm4gx]

The Danish and Norwegian alphabets use ae as a letter. maybe boael is in another language?

[Pretzel]

Wasn't one of the other clues in another language? Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

[mjm4gx]

Yes. There was a dutch clue.

[Pretzel]

Thought so.

[CommanderKiri]

Why do they keep making clues in languages I have no idea of? =_= I've looked into a lot of languages and know a bit of Spanish, Arabic, and Japanese, but these other ones like Dutch and the other Roman Alphabet languages that use letters like æ I've never looked into.

[Pretzel]

Who knows. Maybe Ryan and the rest like making us sweat...

[mjm4gx]

The ae might just be a coincidence. He wanted to write boael across the 4 fields of the "about me" section. So two letters had to share the same field. Of course, it also might be completely relevant. Who knows?

P.S. Kiri, I think "olamaa" is Arabic. Does that make sense?

[Pretzel]

It's a good a guess as any.

[mjm4gx]

Also, not to complicate things...but with

Biography
b
Location
o
Interests
ae
Occupation
l

Maybe we should also be looking at the first letter of the field names.
B, L, I, O

Holy crap, mjm4gx, I think you're right. I was kinda dense to it at first. I ran "olamaa" through a translator, and أُلاماء (olaama'a) means "slaves". Alternate spelling الاما (olaamaa) means "Pain."

I haven't been able to get anything out of Bolkel, though. It's kind of hard, considering there's no "E" in Arabic, and there are so many different ways to spell it because of the hidden short vowels. But I'll let you know if I come up with anything else.

There I go, eating my words.

[mjm4gx]

I saw on one website it actually referred to a group of scholars. But you're right, I came up with nothing on "bolkel" so it might just be a coincidence. I feel that we'll know we came up with the correct meaning if it has to do with "origin."
