Think of another way I could have said the hint.

Then you should see what it means.

I am a dumb idiot so all this Etruscan and inverting the image to make sense of it seems way too convoluted in my opinion.

But if I would have to hazard a guess...

Can't you look at "Those who are close may not always be siblings" as "Those that are near/next to each other may not always be identical/of the same source". I would hazard a guess that it might refer that the two columns in the triangle might be solved separately.

In essence you use the "split" to solve the left half and "three" to solve the right half? Or something like that. And Verg did say that most of Ego's Hebrew stuff/interpretation (in regards to the triangle) is correct. If you would have to invert the entire triangle, then those would change in meaning altogether, no?

Also, where does the latin come into in this theory?

EDIT: It might also refer to that the letters and the numbers are not part of the same "formula"? In essence "PH" and "6.10.15" are separately solved.

The Etruscan alphabet evolved into the Latin one - in essence, Etruscan is "Archaic Latin". Since the theme is centered around "reflection", I also just tried messing around with the triangle in order to see if anything changes much. Anyways, if it helps, great. If not, sorry guys . Still trying to figure it out, though.


Glyphable Hint of the Day #3: Outsiders are outsiders, no matter the language

Glyphable Hint of the Day #4: Only joined hands may twist the key in the lock

[Tobias]

so, um. nbot to put a damper on the exploration of dead languages and all, but in the vage interest that some of these clues might actual prove, I dunno, helpful, and since I already worked on the loki one, there was another one right, something about being not siblings, but close? well, help me out here, whats close/synonymous with siblings?

[I3uster]

Glyphable Hint of the Day #3: Outsiders are outsiders, no matter the language

in the text between the lines at the top there's a repeating katakana, "wa"

wa-t does it mean

(I don't recognize any other of those as kana but lol i cant read anymore)

[RacingeR]

And thus tang finally ends his day.

Only 4 left, ironically.

[hero]

Posting. Don not panic

[Blue]

Donut panic?

[hero]

Rei would go back to the room and stay awake until she gets news from shizuka or she dozes off.

So yeah, you can consider my day over and move on.

[Verg Avesta]

Hyarion. Twelve. Dark.

You are only players left.

Post. Post like the lives of your PCs depended on it.

... Because they do.

[RacingeR]

I still think we should initiate timeskip procedures with everyone else while we wait for homunculi to get done. Would speed the whole thing up a lot, I think.

[Blue]

If they are timely, I say wait for them.

Also, it is so very weird to see a mental image of the Main Man being slightly awkward teenager.

However, its abilities completely rely on the information provided. Of course, some information may be warped and unexpected occurrences may happen. Maybe it might even change you…

Seven Times Over
0/1
Requires fully completed Talents: Back in the old days, Planning for the future, Advanced Learner and Giant’s Pledge
You have been shared the innermost secrets of Atlas. Recognizing your valor, ability and loyalty to their cause, the original Atlas of Egypt has granted you the permission to carry one of the many weapons they have locked away in fear of what it might cause if released unto the world.
