I agree that the dot is E

and further suggest that the trigraph: 3}.
is maybe the word "the"

(at the beginning of the second line of the early sample and again in the middle of the third line.

If it helps, that image has a typo in it.
This one is the corrected one:

I love this.

Hrmm. I think the only thing to do then is to ask Lizard what the writing is saying word for word!

Then... We ourselves have a cipher to work with!

[FallacyofUrist]

I have had a revelation!

But it's too hard to explain in words!

Actually, just ask traveling companion to teach us. He was king before, right?

The same trigraph appears later in the same text, so I would agree with that. Berlie's text seems more like a list, so it would make sense that it wouldn't appear in that.

Following that logic though, it adds a complication. 3 appears very infrequently in the text, but "t" is the second most commonly used letter in the English letter. Given this, my guess would be that certain symbols, like "3}" represent specific digraphs like "th".

Also, we could just ask someone smarter, yeah.

[deadringer]

That's a very good point about the T=3 hypothesis. Hm.

Actually, we're not even sure this alphabet reads left to right >.<

[metamancer]

Hey Lizard! What do these say?


Oh, hey, those look familiar.
I think Yade made those for me.


He's the grand vizier.


Well...




He WAS the grand vizier.


I can't read alphabet 1.0, though.
I only know alphabet 2.0.
(A B C D and so on)
So I don't know what they say.

[StrawBarrel]

Check out the headstones. Maybe they're being engraved with alphabet 1.0.

[Mooply]

Ask Lizard how he even became king in the first place.

[birdy51]

Pat Lizard on the back.

Poor guy.

[Durithill]

Ponder how and why everyone is using this alphabet they can't read.
