Krenim writing

Sorry if I posted this before @tacofangs I looked and didn't see it.

So I made that, based on: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/File:Krenim_script.jpg

I'm not sure where that came from though.... Is it text from the show? I don't know....

Why am I asking? well.... I noticed that the props in the starbase have a few symbols that I didn't see there. Also... I never managed to come up with a translation for them.

Hmmmmm...I dunno. My first instinct when I saw the Krenim text sample was that it was a boustrophedon writing system or some variant thereof; the embellishments certainly seem to lend themselves to that. (And would also be consistent with the Krenim mindset that the flow of the timeline need not be consistent in one direction.)

Still, very creative and unless we get some kind of official word, there's nothing saying my theory is right either.

Well the lines seem to have a purpose. The form with round dots on both ends seems to indicate that two lines are part of the same sentence. But the form that ends in a double line seems to indicate that the big end is a pop-out menu or something.

Anyone know where to get good screen caps?
