I'm stumped so far. :/ Everything I've tried hasn't really revealed much. And I can't get anything meaningful from the latin in the txt docs

PROPS Bigtime theroddd!! Are you gonna clue in Marcus b/c he is a charmer? Just in case this flipping procedure will be used again & since my post is now unspoilered first reverse the above nbrs to 379405 then read or imagine the letters they resemble upside-down.

Na, im not taking sides YET, so you can let him know, or either or both of the brothers if your leaning one way or the other.
Anyone having luck with the new puzzle? i think i have them in order but then nothing pans out from there.

Yeah, I have them in order as well, but can't seem to make anything before or after turning "like a clock." Even tried turning the whole row.

Gonna try putting together the answer to the aawegh28945 puzzle (as maybe I have it) with the new sections released on today's blog entry ... Anyone got ideas?

Got me stumped. I have them in order but nothing jumps out. Even taking into about the new blog entry. The only point I am not sure how to include is the '4 letters each' bit. Also, James' neutral position for the square is different from image aawegh28945. In the notes from the blog, the square is the mirror image of the one in aawegh. I have written to Marcus about it let's see.

Update:
Marcus has responded. It appears that the square in the aawegh28945 image is in the correct orientation.

Hey everybody. I've been following along with you guys but have had nothing to contribute until now. I think I have figured out the Houx language code. I will attach the key I made and spoiler the explanation.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I arranged the shapes in the order described in the "aawegh" page (Triangle, Claw, Arrow, Dome, Square, Circle, Trench) and then rotated each one clockwise 90 degrees three times to generate 4 orientations for each shape. The triangles represent A-D, the claws represent E-H, etc. The trench will only use two orientations. The "neutral position" for Y and an unknown orientation for Z. On my key I assumed a 90 degree rotation. Using this key on the second page that Marcus posted gives the message
THEHOUX
LANGUAGE
ISNOW
ENTRWSTED
QOYOU
Fixing the spelling errors gives "The Houx langauge is now entrusted to you".
I have sent Marcus an email about this...
I'll post his reponse
.
Edit: Response revealed nothing interesting so I won't bother posting. Marcus posted his Houx language key on his blog and my Z is incorrect. If anybody looks at my attachment please note that the symbol for Z is a horizontal mirror image of Y instead of the rotation I show.

Brilliant LM...THX! Marcus has a valuable Update incl. a link to the Houx Clan Memorial site and an audio file which simply needed to be reversed to become intelligible.
ETA: The Houx Harp on their Documents page has an interactive surprise so be sure to check it out. Being curious I decoded the middle Houx writing on the tree.
Leaving the other 2 Houx writings for others to have fun with

The Houx writing carved into the tree reads: this tree makes strong wood

Hey all I'm new to this type of gaming, but I'm having fun following along with you. I decifered all three of the pictures, the top one is:

I also sent a contact form to the Houx Clan Memorial asking for more information on the instrument. Not sure if anything will come from it.
