| This is the only panel that I feel I have had a measure of success with. Parts of it are repeated on other panels. It calls into play the rules for the medieval scribe to work with. Biting the Bow, Suspension and Contraction. All three create problems with deciphering |

The first figure may appear to be an [m] but I do not believe that it is an [m]. Three characters to the right is what I believe to be an [m]. Notice that the center perpendicular has a pointed base. This isn’t a slip of the tool because it is repeated elsewhere on Morko. The first perpendicular is not connected to the next perpendicular and it is footed. It is the letter [I]. It is followed by a letter [n] as it should be because it is the word [in]. Now a rule comes into play. The word following [in], is [nama] (name). However the letter dropping rule comes into play when an [n] is being followed by an [n]. An [n] can be eliminated and the two words will be read as, inama, instead of in nama Next comes the symbol for Yggdrasil which doubles for the name ODIN. Next letter is [P]. Then the letter [I]. What is missing is the following letter (scribe’s rule) which should be an [a]. The last figure is a puzzle. It appears three times on Morko’s panels. Great for a tattoo. |
 The engraver wasn’t going to include
something that was meaningless. It had to have meaning to the comissioner. After all, letters were being dropt to
save space. Kapish?
