Rise of Rurik

Chapter 38: Learn the Runic alphabet carefully

   The child has arrived, and now Veria is not in a hurry.

   She turned around slowly and asked, "Ruriek, are you hungry?"

   "I'm not hungry, I just see those wooden boards quickly."

   "You still have some more meat. I have something else to tell you about seeing the wooden board."

   Put the meat on the branches and grill it over charcoal fire. Rülik knew that he was eating seal meat. Because there is no time to properly process the seal meat, the meat is full of blood. Such meat must be grilled for a longer time and sprinkled with enough salt to be truly delicious.

   While he was eating meat, he listened to Veria's explanation.

   "You know what the words on those wooden boards are. If you want to understand the contents on the wooden boards, you must learn the letters completely."

   "Yes! I will."

   "Of course you will. It's not that difficult. You have a lot of time to study with me, maybe you can master it in a few days."

   "So I have to learn those letters first, right?"

"Yes. You eat meat slowly, I will prepare it. In the next few days, I will teach you how to distinguish each letter well. Keep in mind that those letters mark our language. When you can Master the letters smoothly, even without my guidance, you can learn all the contents of the board by yourself."

  Villa was afraid that Rurik would have difficulty understanding, she explained it further.

  Lurik, how could he know nothing? Even those rune letters, they certainly won't have any strange pronunciation.

   The Old Norse language that I had to learn because I was born is actually very easy to learn.

   Liu Li's consciousness is lodged in his body. This is a guy who has passed CET-6. The life of that plane gave him a powerful logical analysis ability and knowledge far beyond the common people in this time and space.

   A simple comparison and analysis, he discovered that many vocabulary of Old Norse and English after a thousand years are related to each other. As if Old Norse is a special modern English dialect, the pronunciation of all words is familiar and unfamiliar, after all, it is not a strange pronunciation.

  Lurik had seen some Rune alphabets before. Since there was no rune-Latin alphabet comparison table, he could only numb his scalp when he saw those letters.

   He analyzed a clear point, no matter how strange the symbols of the Rune alphabet are, it must separate vowels and consonants, and have strict correspondence. Dozens of letters can be permuted and combined to interpret Ancient Norse language.

  Rurik’s analysis is very correct, because the origins of the Rune alphabet and the Latin alphabet are the same.

   The dawn of civilization first shined in Mesopotamia. The local residents established a national form early on. In order to maintain a huge national operation, writing came into being.

   Cuneiform script was originally pictographic. In order to pursue practical convenience, it gradually became a pure Pinyin script. The ancient cuneiform alphabet was improved by the ancient Phoenicians, thus giving birth to the Phoenician alphabet.

   The nearby Aegean region learned the Phoenician alphabet and created his own early Greek alphabet. Along the ancient trade roads, the Greeks in the Balkans sold their goods to the north, and naturally came into contact with the Germans. But when Rome controlled most of Europe, the Germans also began to learn the ancient Roman alphabet.

  Rome has declined. The Franks among the Germans occupy a huge amount of Western Europe. They adhere to the standard ancient Roman alphabet. Finally, the Luen alphabet, which was invented by a variety of channels, is still in use only in the Baltic region and Britain.

   Regardless of its evolution, because the Rune alphabet and the ancient Roman alphabet have a common origin of ancient Greek letters, the writing of some letters is naturally strongly related, and the most important thing is that the spelling logic of the letters has not changed for thousands of years.

  Lurik finished the meat, and he became more energetic.

   Upon seeing this, Villia immediately ordered: "Now follow me to that room, I will show you a wooden board first."

  Lurik nodded, just following behind the staggering priest.

   The narrow compartment in the large priest's long house, and Veria lit all the candles here.

   It is exactly the same as the scene I have seen for a while, there are still a lot of carefully polished wooden boards stacked here.

  Lurik stood quietly at the door, watching Veria strenuously taking out a piece from the many wooden boards.

   I saw her wipe the dust off, and finally let out another breath, showing a satisfied smile.

   She turned around to face Rurik and deliberately displayed the wooden board: "This is it, which records all the letters that can be written in our language. Next, you must be able to master all the twenty-four letters."

   There are twenty-four Luen letters? Rurik shook his body in surprise. He thought there would be more letters in this alphabet system.

   Because there are as many as thirty-two Russian letters in later generations!

   "Let’s go out with me now. We’re going to study in a more ordered place. I will tell you how to pronounce all the letters, and also tell you the meaning behind them.

   After a while, Rurik sat cross-legged on the soft deerskin. In front of him was a cast iron basin, and the charcoal inside was slowly burning.

  Villa was sitting in front of Rurik, holding a wooden board in his hand, and began to point him one by one.

  How to educate a student? Veria taught Rurik by reading the book www.uukanshu.com in the same way that he taught the lower priests.

   Those young priests are not interested in learning more. They can at least master the use of the Rune alphabet very well, because they must be proficient in the ancient spells written with the alphabet in order to use them normally in the sacrificial scene.

  Lurik was a modest student at this time. He suddenly thought of another plane, the scene where he first started to learn the English phonetic system.

   Soon, an extremely complicated feeling came to his heart.

  Look at the twenty-four Luen letters. They are arranged in a matrix on this rectangular oak board.

   It seems that the structure of some letters is only slightly different from the modern Roman letters a thousand years later.

   Roman letters such as F, R, I, T, S, B, and the Rune alphabet are also written in a similar pattern. At first glance, he can estimate how the letter should be pronounced.

   Among the twenty-four Luen alphabets, some seem to be the Roman alphabet modification, and some are written upside down, or written in mirror mode.

   is some vowels, they all have strong characteristics.

  Information is carved on wooden boards, and the sculptors use a small chisel to work. Based on the limitations of the equipment and the technical level of the operator, all the letters are sharp and sharp.

   This is not surprising, the origin of cuneiform writing is sharp and angular. In the ancient Roman alphabet of the Roman era, huge words made of stones were sharp and angular. Only when they were written on soft parchment with a quill did the vocabulary begin to become curved.

   Ross tribe, they currently do not have a clear writing tool.

  Of course, ordinary people do not have a real opportunity to write throughout their lives. In this time and space, writing is an extremely extravagant act!
