Beautiful Ogham writing! Can someone on here who can read Ogham scripts translate this?

  1. Ok, starting from the top it goes

    No no, no, no no no, no, no no no, no, there’s no limits.

    That gets repeated for a while until further down the page it seems to say

    TECHNO! TECHNO! TECHNO! TECHNO!

    Hope that helps.

  2. You have 30 minutes to move your cart

    You have 10 minutes

    Your cart has been impounded

    Your cart has been crushed into a cube

    You have 30 minutes to move your cube

  3. That’s really interesting that the ogham is mixed in with the normal writing- I believe the scribes at the time understood both?

  4. It’s a mix of a weird version of Ogham an insular whilst the pictures isn’t high enough resolution to see everything i can make out a few of the words sadly i don’t tet speak old irish, knowing the source would help but if you don’t know that try r/linguistics they might be able to tell you where the corpus is from

  5. It would take a lot of work to go through this & translate it full but essentially what you have here is the alphabet written in various Ogham scripts. Luckily some other people have done the hard work so you can check out [The Ogam scales of the book of Ballymote](http://www.equinox-project.com/ogamscales.htm) for some further information

    This particular page is shown on the last 9 pages beginning with [page 124](http://www.equinox-project.com/v22124.htm) with the first line of this manuscript being no. 78 & continuing on from there (some alphabets are shown out of order so for example on the next page it shows no. 73 which isn’t shown on this part of the manuscript & the rectangular script in the centre is recorded on [page 91](http://www.equinox-project.com/v22091.htm) of the paper

    It doesn’t provide a lot of info but it does give the names of the various scripts & in some cases the names of the letters in Irish

    [In Lebor Ogaim](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Lebor_Ogaim) page on Wikipedia gives some more details on some of the alphabets
