KEHTOAN

a brief about nIxtrian kehtoan writing

kehtoan[1]

=> [1] kehtoan.mp3 [audio]

The Kehtoan language has undergone many variations over the eons.

The variations that existed before the exodus of the Nixtrians are lost to time.

Perhaps in the future the old world will be found and pre-exodus records allow

Us to grasp a fuller picture.

What we do know is that the original form of the writing system seemed to

Use exclusively the lunar glyphs originally.

These symbols are approximated in this document as

' ( C o D )

These 6 symbols in the current system each represent base six numbers

Increasing in value from left to right.

They represent the phases of the moons in the sky as they advance their lunar procession.

New moon ` zero

Waxing crescent ( one

Waxing half C two

Full o three

Waning half D four

Waning crescent ) five

At some point it there was a shift from base 6 number system to a base 36 system

When this happened a new writing system was created which was heavily inspired

By the pairs of the lunar symbols which correspond to each number.
