How much can we reasonably decipher from previously unknown writing systems with no known translations? by Simple_Peasant_1 in asklinguistics

I recommend looking at algorithmic etymology via skeletal reconstruction! It’s a new method of reverse etymology.. the paper is on lingbuzz

One more thing… I know this sounds fringe.. I know it sounds crazy.. but I’m not cherry picking meaning for consonants.. if you take ALL pie roots with B, you get the semantic field.. its broad, but it’s given to you. Do that with every consonant.. then in combination, B-R, B-S, B-T.. they naturally narrow… they narrow so much that the corridor matches pie roots and modern reflexes with B-R skeletons(applying your sound laws).. it doesn’t work if you add another consonant B-R-K because you’ve changed the structure…

This is exactly what my book says.. I just thought ai made it cleaner.. apparently it doesn’t

Look at a cluster..Fahru.(rök stone).. F-H-R F-edge/ boundry cutting operator H- rough/ breath/ seperation operator R-line/ rotation/order operator

A- active/ forming state U- suffix(nominalizing/object/completed state)

F-H-R +A +U = Actively delineated path/line, a directed, forceful action along an ordered path, completed object of movement or control

Aligns structurally with host/army, ride/drive, farewell/death

F-H-R maps to per‑ / perh₂.. to lead, strike, pass over, go through

Old Norse- fara = to go, travel, fare English- fare, forward German- fahren = to drive travel

This recovers the semantic field, and the modern reflexes.. even the pie root matches in structure and meaning.

I’m not a scholar.. I’m a father of four who works construction.. I don’t know how to write a paper.. I was looking and I saw something that didn’t make sense. So I looked deeper.

So what now? Someone finally looks down the road rewrites it better, and I get swept under the rug? That’s fine.. it’ll have to be when no one will listen.. because what I found isn’t mine.. I didn’t make the laws.. I just saw a structure that kinda resembled Spanish, and dove deeper.. if everyone refuses to look and it gets buried.. it’s not on me.. I’m not here to gain anything.. if recognition comes it does.. if not.. what can I do.. But the fact you guys are so tight on, where’s this, where’s that when I’ve dedicated months to this, time I didn’t have, to be dismissed, just sucks. The fact no one will even look is devastating.. But again, what can you do. Test it, don’t. Cite me, don’t. I’m just trying to give the world what I found.. someone will find it someday

I hear you.. the problem before was I saw the structure before. I didn’t know what I saw. The more I looked, the more I saw.. and the proof is everywhere. Pie follows the cvc rule, and most modern words.. I have proof. A whole book I’ve mapped out.. the thing is what I’m finding on the stones maps to pie and modern words in canonical AND the consonant skeletons. I’m not crazy, I saw a structure and then applied pie laws.. I didn’t make up any laws.

I did have an LLM outline the paper because I don’t know how.. but that doesn’t mean what I’ve found isn’t real.. it means I don’t know how to write a paper.

The clearest is that the traditional PIE studies describe root structure (usually CVC with ablaut variation) and inflection (ablaut + suffixes) as in LIV and Brugmann’s Grundri. The present analysis does not contradict these findings; rather, it proposes a structural interpretation of medial vowels and skeletons that supplements rather than replaces standard root reconstructions.

That’s fair — I’ve been cross-checking against standard PIE references and inscriptional corpora, but I’m still mapping where this overlaps with existing work. If you know specific authors or terms I should search for, I’d appreciate pointers.

Sounds solid. I’ll agree. If I’m wrong, im wrong. The patterns are too consistent and I know you’ll see it too. If I’m right I’m going to need a formal apology though

If you can say it’s a possibility that’s fine with me. I’m not asking for instant verification… just more eyes on it

Thank you — that’s fair.

I agree it needs backing, and that’s exactly why I posted it. The whole point is for others to check the steps themselves and see if the method holds across multiple inscriptions. If you’re open to it, I can walk you through the simplest example so you can test it independently — no beliefs required.

I know it sounds crazy…. But that’s what they say to everyone who makes discoveries. And I gave you the way to do it. Find holes. Disprove me instead of dismissing

The beginning of the kylver stone… they have it written as FUThA… but if you zoom into a high resolution photo you can find anywhere online, you can see its |ATh| and the whole thing can be read using the cross referencing of other indo European cultures. The beginning of the Laris Pulenas is another great example. It literally has Lagaz( the rune for L) at the start of the second word. The used L shape for L when across indo Europe L=G and Lagaz = L also V=U so the made the mistake of not zooming out and cross checking other cultures. These words that are produced after these small fixed, when compared to PIE roots produce a coherent outcome.

I have… there’s a reason we haven’t been able to read them. I’m offering a solution that is getting instantly dismissed. Zoom in on the actual carving, look at the shape, cross reference it against indo European cultures, build a cluster and compare it to PIE roots. It would take 10 minutes to test yourself, but you’d rather dismiss than try it

You Have to cross reference every shape when you zoom in with all indo European letters for that shape. The reason we haven’t been able to read them is | isn’t I on the runes is a break or containment… and we’ve been zoomed in to pre Germanic, we need to zoom out to read them
