kiragecko:This is one of the projects I’m working on! It’s a Tree Alphabet for 6 different scripts current in 800 AD. Or, at least, the first 4 characters from each of them.Thanks so much to @ohroses for help with the Arabic plant choices. If anyone speaks Gaelic, Khmer, Hindi/Urdu/Sanskrit, any Maya dialect (especially Ch’orti or Ch’ol), or Japanese; and is willing to talk to me about plants, PLEASE message me!First, third, fourth, and fifth rows are read from left to right. Second and sixth rows are read from right to left, and row six should be reoriented so it can also be read from top to bottom.Row 1, Goídelc/Old Irish (There is almost NO depictions of plants in early medieval Irish art.
