Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Many are aware that Saurian (a language from StarFox games) has been used by Dragon Cave folks to name their dragons, most prominent being the Thuwed lineage. I've been tinkering around with a translator and noticed some interesting things that make me very impressed by whoever originally came up with Saurian. What we have below is a potential cypher you can use to cycle letters from English to Saurian and back until they eventually circle around to the beginning. It's notable that cycling through touches almost all the letters (0 and y don't work because it only goes one way). A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z English U R S T O V W X A Z B C M D E F G H J K I L N P 0 Q Saurian Notice the vowels go A, U, I, A repeating, which are the vowels in Saurian. E and O simply swap. For the consonants, it goes through each one except Y, in this order: B, R, H, X, P... actually, I like to start from D, for Dragon. D, T, K, B, R, H, X, P, F, V, L, C, S, J, Z, Q, G, W, N -- 19 in all; what makes this special is that the vowels + Y total 6, which goes into 19 with a remainder of 1. This means they can function perfectly in a sequential cypher, as I demonstrate below using Dragon --> Thuwed. The result is something you can use for naming purposes, but I can think of other potential uses as well. Do enjoy, and let me know what you think! ------ o e -Repeat Two- o a u i -Repeat Three- a ao ue io ae uo ie -Repeat Six- ao d t k b r h x p f v l c s j z q g w n -Repeat Nineteen- d This Creates (19*6=114) One-Hundred-Fourteen-Cell Incrementing Cypher dragon drugen drigon dragen drugon drigen -Repeat- dragon drgn thwd kxnt bpdk rftb hvkr xlbh pcrx fshp vjxf lzpv cqfl sgvc jwls zncj qdsz gtjq wkzg nbqw -Repeat- drgn ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao -Next- ue ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue -Next- io io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io -Next- ae ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae -Next- uo uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo -Next- ie ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie -Next- ao drkfc thbvs kxrlj bphcz rfxsq hvpjg xlfzw pcvqn fslgd vjcwt lzsnk cqjdb sgztr jwqkh zngbx qdwrp gtnhf wkdxv nbtpl thbvs kxrlj bphcz rfxsq hvpjg xlfzw pcvqn fslgd vjcwt lzsnk cqjdb sgztr jwqkh zngbx qdwrp gtnhf wkdxv nbtpl drkfc dragon thuwed dorkface tehbvuso drugen thiwod derkfuco tohbvise drigon thawed dorkfice tehbvaso dragen thuwod derkfaco tohbvuse drugon thiwed dorkfuce tehbviso drigen thawod derkfico tohbvase ------------------------------- dragon thuwed dorkface tehbvuso ============================================================ e o -Repeat Two- e u i a -Repeat Three- u ue io ae uo ie ao -Repeat Six- ue t k b r h x p f v l c s j z q g w n d -Repeat Nineteen- t This Creates (19*6=114) One-Hundred-Fourteen-Cell Incrementing Cypher thuwed thiwod thawed thuwod thiwed thawod -Repeat- thuwed thwd kxnt bpdk rftb hvkr xlbh pcrx fshp vjxf lzpv cqfl sgvc jwls zncj qdsz gtjq wkzg nbqw drgn -Repeat- thwd ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue -Next- io io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io -Next- ae ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae -Next- uo uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo -Next- ie ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie -Next- ao ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao ue io ae uo ie ao -Next- ue --- In plainer terms, you could input any combination of letters (except Y) and get not just the legit Saurian translation but a minimum of 17 others besides. (They come in multiples of 19; minus 1 for the English input, and minus 1 more for the legit Saurian. Dragon makes 114 -- minus Dragon and Thuwed, for 112 other words based on them, using the cypher.) Edited September 20, 2020 by Kalon_Ordona_II Share this post Link to post
