Sorry for being vague, I meant that I did not see a separate topic heading for Raph's "RUMI" page, so I added my translation of the Hebrew here.

Sorry if I am confusing, 1st time Studio Cyphers player here

Ah, gothcha, it's in the Blog Updates thread, it wasn't stripped out to a new thread.

There's also some comments in the 1st contacts with RUMI thread, as this symbol is the same as appeared then.

changes to the page. some stars are now red.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

I wonder if that's a result of the work on Raph's page, or it's to help us along as we are struggling?

I'm guessing a constellation?

Sorry I meant the red stars are a constellation, however the key is the whatever should be in the red circle, although have tried space & nothing (seeing as no star is highlighted)

[RedHatty]

I *think* that the constellation is Orion - the 3 stars that form Orion's belt are very obvious. So the star on the ring of the circle would probably be part of Eridanus, but I'm still not sure what should be in the circle

OK folks you're in luck: I am Greek. :p

So the sentence kinda makes sense but I think the PM's messed up on their spelling. Let's break it down

POIA: It's wrong, It should be spelled PIA. It means "who" but in the feminine gender based on the A at the end. PIOS is musculine and PIO is neutral.

EINAI: Nothing wrong with this one. It means 'is'.

I: OK, here they used the wrong character. They should have used the lowercase version of the Greek character 'H' since all the other letters are lowercase. Again, it specifices that we are speaking about a feminine subject.

So the sentence, after you spell it correctly, means "Who is..." in a feminine tone. Most likely a famale name or a word that's feminine (in greek that means that it would end in -A or -H usually such as ALITHIA that means TRUTH).

Please ask if you have any questions. Greek grammar is pretty rough so sometimes a lot of meaning is lost in translation.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I got it!

It's

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Goodwork Olly - how did you get it? or was it a lucky guess?

BTW there are more coloured stars now.

PS you forgot to mention this board doesn't work, so no option to ask more questions..

[Olly]

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Good guess then

The only thing I've noticed is the quotes/ ages of deaths are in numeric order in the source, which makes me think there is some significance to the numbers. (On the page there is no logical order I can see).

[leakingpen]

the hell? i tried hades back when i did death and thanatos. grrr.

double checking, i see an image of the board, kinda, but no actual running board. is that the same for everyone?
