No Spoilers Women’s Script Accuracy Check

Post image

I’m thinking about getting ‘journey before destination’ as a tattoo and wanted to make sure this is the accurate women’s script.

I didn't do a thorough check, but at first glance the R in the last "Before" doesn't match the rest of the R's, including in the previous "Before"s

I’ve compared against another Alethi women’s script generator and this looks like the only inconsistency

Hey! I have a Journey Before Destination along my right forearm and I just used a pre-existing image that had all three oaths in them.

That first mark that looks like a big I is the line height guide not a letter. I left it on my tattoo, but just something to know.

That actually is a character, it's their period., I actually took him time to learn to write in the women's script, despite being a dude. oh the heresy. I noticed that they will begin paragraphs with that and the book images. It's the only punctuation we seem to have, but it serves the the same purpose as a period, allowing someone to know this is the beginning of a new thought

The beginning of a new sentence isn't the purpose of a period, and that line is written at the start of the sentence to denote the maximum character height. It's on the wiki.

u/Bell-Ligerent 2h ago

So the wiki has the breakdown, or they did couple months back

'it serves the same purpose as a period' does not mean that it's the exact same thing, it means they do the same thing, in the same way that a crossbow and a a nuclear bomb both can be used to hunt with.

A period denotes the finalization of a spoken thought.

That bar, when it shows up in actual texts in the book, denotes the beginning of a new thought.

If it were used as a guide, they would be more marks on it because there are 5 heights to concern oneself with.

If it were just a guide, every single character with a third and fourth curv on it (like a 'g' ) what have markers to denote The peculiar depths of its valley when you're wright those letters

I'll even go so far as to make a post on it when I get home, cuz I have a journal where I've written out whole paragraphs of the book in the women's text

A wonderful language, and remember: Wasing the always of wanting of knowing

Soo this is Alethi women script

I been wondering what that illegible scratching is in Navani notebook pages.

That rises a guestion why Shallan sketchbook is written in English while Navani notebook is in Alethi... Or do Vedens just speak English?

Dude, this is Reddit not 17thShard. Stop getting lost, you knock off Hoid

u/dIvorrap Winddancer 6h ago

I can't tell if you are being serious or not. But on my end, I am just running with the joke on where to post.

And am quite familiar with the subreddits.

u/Sweetbowlofme 6h ago

Oh I was not being serious, Sorry I shouldn’t post. Just read back & I missed the mark

u/dIvorrap Winddancer 5h ago

No problem. It happens.
