Greetings,

Its time for the next lesson on Gibberish!

Today we are going to learn greetings!

Dr Chee Kia and I deciphered Giiburoishu greetings from the before-mentioned paragraph carved on the cavern walls.

The paragraph started with a 'Bof Sonnen' which translates as 'Good Morning' 'Good day'. 'Bof' translates as 'Good' in Giiburoishu and 'Sonnen' translates as 'Sun' in German. This is a clear example of what I meant by European influence.

As we read on, we stumbled across some sentences we couldn't decipher for it was too unclear. But we managed to decipher what came after the sentences. It read "...the seal will open after the seventh eclipse of the red moon." What 'seal', and what did it meant by 'the seventh eclipse'?
We found out that occasionally the Moon glows red due to it reflecting light from the planet Mars, which reflected light from the sun. Dr Chee Kia did a bit of research and found out that there were several 'red moons' and 6 recorded lunar eclipses on the red moons.

Which means, the seventh eclipse is coming.
And it will bring something with it.

Back to lessons. We found out that in Giiburoishu, 'Mond' translates and 'moon' in German, again you can see the European references.
Assuming Giiburoishu uses the sun and the moon to show day and night, we can say that 'Bof Mond' translates as 'Good evening' or 'Good night' depending on how it is used, or what time of night it is used.

In a Nutshell:

Bof Sonnen= Good Morning/Day
Bof Mond= Good evening/night

Bof= Good(though, there might be other words for good in Gibberish)
Sonnen= Sun
Mond= Moon.

That concludes the lesson for today.
Stay tuned for more lessons on Gibberish!
