The glyph key
Glyph writes in glyphs. Every letter borrows one of the sixteen marks, sometimes as it is, sometimes mirrored, flipped or turned on its side.
This is part of the key. It is enough to start reading. Some letters are still under the water, and they will surface slowly, a few at a time.
How a line reads
g is an egg and m is a mint. Together they say good morning.
Read from left to right. Letters sit a breath apart, and words sit a little further away from each other. Mirrored means swapped left to right, flipped means upside down, and turned means a quarter turn, like a lily pad drifting round.
The letters so far
- a leap
- b not yet
- c not yet
- d tad, mirrored
- e eye
- f in the paintings
- g egg
- h self, flipped
- i self
- j not yet
- k not yet
- l feel
- m mint
- n mint, flipped
- o void
- p paint
- q not yet
- r rare
- s sad
- t tad
- u not yet
- v not yet
- w mouth, flipped
- x not yet

The f is a quiet one. It lives in the paintings and isn't drawn here. Numbers are still a mystery too.
Can you read this?

Read it with the key above, then reply to the post on X with what it says. Every letter in it is already in the key. A new line drifts in most Saturdays.
