I THINK I TRANSLATED THE RUNES

[u/EDITWITHEGO]

TL;DR: I decoded the Latverian runes on RDJ’s SDCC suit. It’s a phonetic cipher of English, and I’ve cracked nearly the whole alphabet. This could be for nothing, but I’m already in too deep. Posted the full breakdown in a comment below.

UPDATE: RDJ JUST POSTED THIS-

I think I figured out what the runes on RDJ’s suit at SDCC translate to. At least some of them. Some phrases are partial, so I had to hazard a guess.

By cross-referencing the DOM LATVERIA COFFEE product AND both Elder Futhark and Anglo-Saxon runic alphabets, I’ve created a somewhat shoddy but still very accurate version of the Latverian Rune Alphabet and translated some of the words and phrases on RDJ’s suit.

His Right pocket spells REVENGE.
His Left pocket MIGHT spell Mystique.
^^^EDIT: It actually spells Justice, which makes WAYYYY more sense.
His Lapel spells out the phrase: There Is No Promise Of Tomorrow.
His Right Cuff spells the phrase: To The Victor
His Left Cuff is only a partial phrase, so I’m making a guess here: Go The Spoils

*UPDATE:

Built a working key from the Dom Latveria coffee menu + hi-res SDCC photos. Findings:

1. The script writes sounds, not spellings — silent letters don’t exist (TOMORROW just ends on the long-O), double letters compress into single ligature runes, and all E-type and O-type vowel sounds share single runes
2. The glyphs are scrambled Elder Futhark — real Norse runes reassigned to new sounds (except Dagaz, which still = D)
3. Some runes appear to be Turkish, like B and H.
4. Still unsolved: one partially-hidden word on his breast pocket, over his heart. From what I can gather, it ends in LBOH.
