Warning: This requires you to do some simple math. Please make sure you can handle addition, subtraction, and the concept of negative numbers. The following decoding technique also requires that you know which Espruar and Dethek symbols correspond to which Roman letters. One such translation can be found in: dethek-espruar-roman.gif Below is listed each code word on the code wheel, in alphabetical order, with a number in parenthesis to the left. Consider that number associated with the first letter of the matching code word. To find the correct code word for a given Dethek and Espruar symbol pair, find the number in parenthesis corresponding to each given symbol (i.e. go down the list of words until you find one that starts with the same number or letter as the value of the symbol, and then take the value in parenthesis to the left). If the value of the Dethek symbol is D, and the value of the Espruar symbol is E, then the formula to find the code word value is: E - (36 - D) + P where P is the path value of 0 for dots, 12 for dots/dashes, and 24 for dashes. If the resulting number is greater than 36, subtract 36. If it is less than zero, add 36. Example 1: The Espruar letter is A (1), and the Dethek letter is G (6), and the path is dashes (24), so the code word is associated with: 1 - (36-6) + 24 = 1 - 30 + 24 = -5 + 36 = 31 -> 5GUNGA Example 2: The Espruar letter is U (21), and the Dethek letter is W (23), and the path is dots/dashes (12), so the code word is associated with: 21 - (36-23) + 12 = 21 - 13 + 12 = 20 -> TEMPLE Wheel words: (01) AXEIAX (02) BEWARE (03) COPPER (04) DRAGON (05) EFREET (06) FRIEND (07) GOOGLE (08) HARASH (09) IXYVSI (10) JUNGLE (11) KNIGHT (12) LQLGMT (13) MLSSXS (14) NOTNOW (15) OPTAWA (16) POOLRD (17) QUOHOG (18) RHUDIA (19) SAVIOR (20) TEMPLE (21) UICDRH (22) VULCAN (23) WYVERN (24) XRSEHK (25) YUFSTA (26) ZOMBIE (27) 1GKKRY (28) 2IOLCD (29) 3MASAI (30) 4NINER (31) 5GUNGA (32) 6BROWN (33) 7GNATS (34) 8OASIS (35) 9TROUT (36) 0SOMAS
