I already did give you a hint the word formation of the langauge is different, you need to build up words...not try to decode.

But with no context for those words, they might as well be gibberish... I think. I'm no linguist to say the least.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

If morse code was based on sounds rather than letters, there would be no problem here...

Anyways, I'll try a simple SOS. (...---...)

This. The voice might simply be transmitting our own message back at us, only translated. We did get back the same number of words last time.

SOS returns EVK
[Alphabet] Returns MSK RWAOS, MYSOPTP LSIS NOL ESTEMT

What in the Nine Worlds is that. Ignore this lets EVALUATE!

Lets compare to the reply from before: MYSOPTP NOL ESTEMT, RWAOS.
RWAOS is evidently a standard word.
MYSOPTP NOL ESTEMT is a phrase yet can have LSIS placed inside. This suggests a verb, for instance "Please" as in MYSOPTP NOL ESTEMT = Slow Down Guys and MYSOPTP LSIS NOL ESTEMT = Please Slow Down Guys  (Obviously not however it is just showing the idea).

We need more information. Although give me more time to have a brain wave.

I suggest numbers as well.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

MSK could be an additional word. RWAOS could be Quickly and MSK could be Very. First one could translate to something like Identify your selves, Quickly. Then Very Quickly, Identify Please Your Selves. It doesn't fit but Liguistics wise it could work that way.

"NOL ESTEMT, MSK RYTN WOTATHIIB " is the response.

TheCatfish, I wish you luck. It's all jibberish to me.
