Name Shi Subtitle The Writing of the Fairy-folk Site Shi Script Image If image fails to load, try this link. Site Language English Author Daniel Myers Script Type Ideography Description A writing system for fairy creatures from medieval folklore. The basic lexicon is geared towards a natural environment that such creatures would have inhabited. The glyphs themselves have an organic form, being composed only of curves and circles. The language is a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphics or Chinese ideograms in that there is a base glyph which provides some semantic content, and smaller radicals which augment or alter the meaning of the base glyph. However there are also aspects of the wampum belts from the tribes of the northeastern US, in that the glyphs act to some degree as mnemonics instead of strictly interpreted words. The "Langmaker" symbol starts with the base glyph "si" combined with the carrier marker, which forms the major glyph of "is" - the Realm (or frame) of Person. When placed inside a circle it takes on the role of a noun, becoming "person". Then, starting with the radical in the highest position, is the glyph "shi" - lending the meaning of "creation". This combination in itself would form the symbol for "creator". Proceeding counter-clockwise leads to the remaining glyph, "tu" - lending the meaning of "sound". "Combining "tu" (sound) with "o-is" (person) would form a symbol meaning person-sound" - speech, language, or even song. However in context with "shi" (creation) forms a symbol with the meaning of "person who creates speech", "speech maker", or even "singer." This is to be contrasted with the complete sentence "o-is o-is tu e-shi" (see link below for image), which could be translated as "someone creating speech". Influences Heiroglyphics, Chinese.
