I wish I was more sure about -de. If command him is correct and we're sending this to Will, then who is the "him" mentioned?


Well, we have to remember that -di could be he/she/it. And also, -di just genders the verb (meaning it just goes along with the gender of the subject) so instead of "elements -de command him/her/it" I think it is more along the lines of "elements -de command". Since we don't gender our verbs in English I think it's hard to show... but if elements are our subject then they're the ones commanding (or whatever daj means!).

But, yeah, without being able to find -de in anything else I'm at a loss as to what it could mean. When Ore says
Quote:
-de is something that has multiple
but similar meanings
one is that same as adding -th to four to make fourth
another is similar to that

This is tricky because I feel the sentence can be interpreted two ways.
1.) "-de is the same as adding -th to four to make fourth, and is also similar to adding -th"
2.) "-de is similar to adding -th to four to make fourth, and is also similar in that it has to do with numbers"
It makes me feel like -de is supposed to be a demonstrative adjective like "that" is (i.e. 'these elements' or 'those elements') since they kinda show a number.

After all, there hasn't been any this/that/these/those translated yet, right? I haven't seen any.

 		So yesterday we got the matter of importance and today we got the matter of confusion

I also sent an email about dajdio where, just for simplicity's sake, I said to pretend daj means guide and then gave a couple suggestions on what dajdio could mean and received this
Ore wrote:
if dajdi meant it guides
then dajdio means guide it

daj does not mean to guide however


ETA: GOT ONE!

THREE!!!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
oresentyou gives a third piece (this was the password for a file from the previous game and, actually, I had input it before but didn't realize all answers would come up as white regardless of if they were right or not at that point...)

FOUR!!!!

oraet gives the final QR piece

 		I sent an email to the new email and received a hidden message from Ore. The account name is "The Triumvirate". In the email I was told that Will will break out of his lock soon and we need to send him the letter within 2 weeks, and to not forget to wish him a happy birthday since he missed his. (Aw, isn't Ore sweet.)
I was then told there was another puzzle with a name. The pass for this puzzle was
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WillJakobsen

and it gave me an image that had Will's address written in code--this is where we need to send the message once we figure out what it means.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PO BOX 872
POWAY, CA

CHECK WITH ME
BEFORE YOU SEND


So now we gotta figure out exactly what oraetde dajdio means! Even if you don't think you're good at Nimpik, giving it a try can't hurt!

 		Hmm. If he's still writing in white, chances are this is because white is his pillar. If you notice, all the other pillars only write in their appropriate color.

Also, an additional note:

Wikipedia wrote:
A triumvirate (from Latin, "triumvirātus") is a political regime dominated by three powerful individuals, each a triumvir (pl. triumviri). The arrangement can be formal or informal, and though the three are usually equal on paper, in reality this is rarely the case. The term can also be used to describe a state with three different military leaders who all claim to be the sole leader.


Sounds like something more to do with the Pillars, if you ask me.

That's really interesting! Hmm...

Okay, so for figuring out the meaning of daj I think we need to shift out focus to the Paromnetiara where daj appears three times in quite different circumstances.

My proposed translations for the other words are in italics since we don't have a confirmation they're actually correct.

1.) Tasaj jokedi e ara en jodajdi kut oj, enog jotugar ir e arane.
She found a path and JODAJDI (went? walked?) KUT (through? down? along?) it, but JOTUGAR (arrived? got? came?) to a crossroad/fork.

2.) Ir ek morgoratar, tasaj jodajdi neoj oj netdi un ek danak.
To the MORGORA, she JODAJDI (went?) to see it (rise? appear?) in the (horizon?)

3.) Oj kadi ek etana jamdan etnu tasaj dege romrane jonerojdi, en tasaj dajdi fordi, enog og ir rok.
It is the (most beautiful song?) she (has ever?) heard, and she DAJDI FORDI, but not to* ROK.

*note: this to means that ROK is a person or place. It's the to in "go to California" and not the to in "go to eat."
The only difference between jodajdi and dajdi is jodajdi is past tense and dajdi is present tense.

Also be sure to check out the Wiki. It's been updated with some more words and I organized it some too.

 		Okay, so Ore just confirmed with me that oraetde dajdio doesn't need to be translated before sending it to Will.
So just send the message to him through regular mail at his PO Box. I've put mine in the mail.

Again, the address is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Will Jakobsen
PO BOX 872
POWAY, CA
92074


And PS: don't forget Ore told us "put a spectrum symbol, the complete one, on the front"
