1216855
Yes. It is very clever.

1216860
One is the long modifiers, the other the short.

1216824
Let me bang that out now.

1216854
I'm just not quite sure which diacritic to use on the Wal.

1216863

Oh we do that now?

Better get on it.

1216849
You don't appear to have done that in the homework thing at the end.

1216885
It's the technical, proper thing to do, and it's fading out with time. Many are choosing to simply emphasize the long "u", as the right side is longer than the other. The short "e" is equal in length on both sides. You can get away with leaving the diacritics up in common Eqquish, but High Eqquish is much more finnicky.

1216902
is dum duh or dun?

1216913
Dum is duh.

1216902
Any bonus homework for those of us who want a bit of an extra challenge after the warm-up you posted?

1216913
DUM DUH DUNNNNNNNN

How does punctuation work?

*slids through the door, hits and flips a desk and over it*
I'm here!

1216923
Yep.

*slips in right behind Isador* Aaaaah! Stupid mail system misplacing my letters!

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here! *drops behind a desk, stares at the alphabet*

Oh, boy...

I think I'm going to have to duck out early for 4th of July things.

1216948
On the third?

1216941

Do we Pm you with the English or Eqquish translations?

1216902
I thought it was short 'u' and long 'e'.

1216929
Each sentence is separated from the last by a more or less vertical line. Sentences are written left to right, and a vertical line signifies a simple stop, or period. A line slanting forward is an exclamation mark, and backwards is a question mark. Quotations are started with a curved line and when the quote ends, the quote is surrounded with another curved line. Think parentheses.

1216948
By all means. The transcript will remain up, and happy 4th!

1216960
English, please.

1216968 What about word separations?

1216947
Welcome! It's not as bad as it looks, really.

1216968 Backwards meaning the top point is to the left, with the bottom point to the right? And flipped for forward? I can never remember which is supposed to be which...

1216981
Correct.

1216977
A simple space will suffice.

1216984
Yay!

1216938
Are you understanding what we've covered so far?

Do we just pluralize with Sar?

1216964
My mistake.

Okay. I think I understand. I'll have to work at translating those words, and I'm definitely going to have to make myself a cheat sheet.

1216992
Yes. Precisely.

1216990
So far, so good. It might take a little getting used to.

So the first word on the homework. Is that a short 'u' or a long 'e' on Tyr?

1217008
I can't figure out the way to make the ar sound.

1217018
It's not particularly difficult once you get past the glyph issues and get the punctuation. And the two other alphabets just use more intricate glyphs. The real challenge comes in using them.

1217021
Sound it out, and think about which pronunciation makes sense.

1217022
At the beginning or in the middle of the word?

Just hit 7% battery on my laptop

See you guys later.

1217046
End as in are.

1217047
Bye!

1217047
Have a pleasant evening!

1217052
Ayeh, Rej for that word specifically, and a long "a" diacritic before the Rej for a simple ending.

1217042
*sounds out the first two runes and get mind blown* I think I get it now.

1217075
Felt it "click"? I live for that feeling.

The second rune is lameh, right?

1217089
Correct. PM me when you have them.

I wrote "Bow ties are cool" (I think I wrote that.)

Well then here's to a good challenge! It's going to be an interesting night tonight...
