More on the Sylphic language?

[Junah]

Haha, wow, I was way off in my attempted translation! And this whole thread reminds me exactly how much I've forgotten about linguistics.

But it's really cool to hear about the details of Old High Sylphic! Thanks for posting, Ferne!

Performing slight thread necromancy to express my gratitude for this post's role in clarifying the name of the Summoner weapon Ona Ramuhda. I had noticed the phrase in the song, but knowing that it actually means "The Coming of the Lord of Levin" makes it make a WHOLE lot of sense as a weapon for that class in particular, and why it so visibly breaks the "Thunder[x]" and "Adjudicator's [x]" naming pattern of the weapons for other classes makes sense as well. I'm honestly almost sad now that none of the other Ramuh drops have names in OHS or taken from the lyrics of the song.

I wonder if this means there are actually words that mean their opposite in the sylph laguage. Like we are given the words for fire and light and shown how an opposite is created, but does a natural word exist as well?

I want to apologize for not revisiting this thread until JUST NOW honestly, I really hadn't thought to come back here and take a look because I thought things would have gone widely unnoticed. Suffice to say, I thank you all for your speculations. And I thank Ferne for the extra clarification. Now I will take my nerdy-self and study everything that has been told to me 50 times over so I can use it somehow. If, at any time, Ferne goes into more details, I will certainly hop back in here to learn more! Thank you thank you thank you!

Curved lines below and above words?

Sounds like arabic writings.

But instead of vowels, they are replaced by pitch.

Interesting. I would like to see the writing.
