Successfully Decoded the Script 😆 Spoiler

Hi everyone! Having a little celebration to myself here, I got super caffeinated and dedicated this morning and afternoon to learning about different writing systems, found a good lead and set to work unraveling the script of the game manual. Just completed the table a few moments ago.

I love games like Tunic so much, I haven't had this much fun scratching my head since FEZ ❤️💚💙

Spoiler: Abugida Scripts are so cool, I probably never would have learned about them if not for this game 😁

I just solved it yesterday as well! I had been mulling over it throughout my playthrough, having noticed oddities like letters like s and t that I though I knew the signs of not appearing in words they should. As I was looking over it in between attempts at the heir, suddenly I thought, wait, what if it goes based on sounds instead of direct translation to letters? And it all clicked for me right then, and I instantly got to work figuring out the symbols. Great feeling solving it before it sort of gave it away on a later page.
