'''June 28, 2018''' — '''Solution to Book of Woo revealed!'''

Today Novil revealed the [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/06/28/0500-the-book-of-woo-in-english/ original English text of the Book of Woo] and explained the encryption process.

'''June 25, 2018''' — mi tawa

With [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/06/25/filler-please-bear-with-us/ today's filler comic] Novil gave the biggest hint so far that the Book of Woo makes use of the artificial language [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona '''"Toki Pona"''']. The user ratfox already uploaded a [[Transliterations#Toki Pona|transliteration]] of the text in this language, derived by simple substitution from nneonneo's transliteration which was already amazingly close to the real thing. He later also added a [[Transliterations#word-by-word_translation|word-by-word translation]] to English. Now it seems we're almost done! It only remains to reconstruct the story from this simplified version. There are several online translators for Toki Pona available if you want to try translating it yourself. -- [[User:Narga|Narga]] ([[User talk:Narga|talk]])

'''March 08, 2018''' — Missing a few entries?

I just realized that the time of the backup from which this new wiki was created was probably a few months before the actual shutdown of the old wiki.
So a few of the latest contributions to the old wiki might have been lost. If you contributed or remember anything that is now missing, please add it again. -- [[User:Narga|Narga]] ([[User talk:Narga|talk]])

'''February 28, 2018''' — New Wiki

Welcome to the new wiki which is currently mostly a cleaned up copy of the old one, originally created by ''foogod''. Most content of the old wiki could be migrated here thanks to a backup by Oliver Knörzer himself. -- [[User:Narga|Narga]] ([[User talk:Narga|talk]])

'''July 23, 2014 — Spam Issues'''

Novil's recent link to the wiki has brought some new contributors (welcome!) but also a bunch of spammers. I've gone through and deleted/blocked a bunch of spam users/edits from the past couple of days, and will be adding additional countermeasures over the next few days. I tried to be fairly careful, but if you find anything that was deleted/blocked which shouldn't have been, please let me know. -- Foogod

'''April 27, 2014 — Artwork Interpretation available'''

Created a page with interpretation attempts of the artwork by various readers. -- Foogod

'''April 18, 2014 — It is now possible to include Book of Woo glyphs in wiki pages!'''

See [[Using_Wootext|Using Wootext]] for more information on how to do this. -- Foogod

'''April 17, 2014 — New transliteration and OpenType font available'''

Foogod has proposed a new transliteration mapping, with a corresponding font file. -- Foogod

'''April 13, 2014 — The Book of Woo Wiki is now live!'''

Welcome, everyone! -- Foogod

Transliterations

2018-06-26T22:42:49Z

Narga: /* Toki Pona */

'''Transliteration''' is the act of rewriting a given text using letters from a different alphabet. As the ''Book of Woo'' is written in an apparently previously unknown alphabet, it can be difficult to manipulate, analyze, and quote it using computers and the Internet. As such, one of the first steps typically employed is to transliterate the text into another alphabet which can be more easily used. This page contains various transliterations which have been performed and posted for others to use.

The following transliterations have been updated to include all corrections which have been discovered to date (both transcription errors and errors in the original document which have been confirmed by Novil). They have also been reformatted here to better match the layout of the original.

(Some older transliterations without these corrections have also been posted for historical reference in the [[Old Transliterations]] page.)

=== word-by-word translation ===
Using the word list from http://tokipona.net/tp/classicwordlist.aspx
Two words, WALU and TOKE, do not appear to have a translation. Maybe they're typos.
Regarding grammar, many words can be a noun or an adjective or a verb depending on context.
I chose to represent the subject-verb separator as "is" and the object separator as "for".

additional text of speedrun: cloth inside bottom

== Ryan (corrected) ==

Ryan was the first user to transcribe the original text and post the result for others to use. As such, his has become something of a de-facto standard transliteration amongst those discussing the text online. The following version has been updated (by Foogod) to include the corrections noted by Novil and to correspond better with the later Satsuoni-Novil transcription.

== Satsuoni-Novil ==

Satsuoni posted an updated version based on Ryan's original transliteration, but accounting for the character-set overlap which had been observed, and substituting equivalent characters to reduce the effective character set to 16 symbols instead of 31. A corrected version of this transliteration (using the same character mapping as Satsuoni, but fixing several confirmed errors) was later posted by Novil. The following is Novil's corrected version of Satsuoni's mapping of the text.

== Foogod ==

[[User:Foogod|Foogod]] has proposed an alternate character mapping, based on Ryan's and Satsuoni's, but designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni character duplication is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

== nneonneo ==

[[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] proposes another transliteration, this time based on logical properties of the characters and not the glyphs they represent.

Essentially, glyphs are grouped into three classes, "consonants", "vowels" and "other" based on their observed relationships. These groups are translated logically into equivalent English letters. The class names aren't meant to actually imply a relationship to the analogous English letters; they are merely convenient notation to refer to the classes.

The essential properties of this transliteration are as follows:

* The glyph classes can be easily distinguished by eye, because they are quite simply vowels/non-vowels.
* The text itself can now be "pronounced" because of the alternation property of these glyph classes. This aids substantially in word recall as the text is now vaguely (but not too closely) English-like.
* The mapping is intended as a "logical" mapping rather than a "physical" mapping; consequently the characters chosen deliberately bear little to no resemblance to the glyphs
* The mapping partially preserves the frequency distribution: the more common glyphs were mapped into more common English letters where possible.
* The mapping is still lossless because of Satsuoni's observation, though reversing the mapping is somewhat more challenging.

Here's the mapping:

== kana-based token transcription ==

Given the regularities that have been noticed in the ''phonotactics'' (as it were) of how the glyphs are used, with ''consonants'' being consistently followed by ''vowels'', it seemed sensible to me to produce a transcription that takes this into account, representing ''tokens'' (i.e., nneonneo syllables) as one character each. In order to avoid confusing people by overloading the Latin letters yet again, I chose the kana, because they represent syllables in Japanese, and because I am familiar with them.

When choosing individual kana for each token, I chose them so that the results would roughly correspond with the nneonneo transcription when pronounced. I also tried to avoid excessive visual similarity between characters (which would be confusing for people who do not know kana) by taking some of the symbols from katakana and others from hiragana, in order to avoid pairs that would be too similar in appearance. In a couple of cases, I allowed this desire to avoid visual similarity to trump the nneonneo pronunciation correspondance.

Working from the folded text, I assigned the foogod w (nneonneo ') to the sokuon (small tsu), which is a geminator in Japanese, on the theory (mentioned by someone else elsewhere) that it may even be used that way, although this has not really been explored or confirmed yet; and I assigned the other token that can stand on its own (foogod a, nneonneo n) to the syllabic nasal in those situations.

The remainder were chosen so that their standard romanization corresponds to nneonneo, with two exceptions: nneonneo tu (foogod pq) would have been too visually similar to either ' (w) or du (sq), so I grabbed hiragana u, which was available (because nneonneo u is represented by the katakana one); and wu (foogod gq) cannot be written in a single kana character, so I chose a wa character to stand in.

I treated c as k in all cases rather than s. Where two characters would otherwise have differed only by dakuten (voicing), such as with ta/da, or not at all, such as ra/la, I took one from katakana and the other from hiragana.

Here, then, is a draft kana transcription of the text:

Hopefully this transcription may prove useful. If indeed these "tokens" are the basic unit of information for the next layer of decryption, having them represented by just one character each may be helpful. (If nothing else, doing frequency analysis on this transcription shows that we are clearly not yet at the final stage of decryption, since the frequency of individual tokens/kana, except for the four most common ones, clearly falls off linearly.)

I believe there are 46 kana, if I counted correctly (plus &, which I left as ＆ for now). [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]] ([[User talk:Jonadab|talk]]) 14:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

== Syllabary ==
I wondered whether [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]]'s "tokenization" was a complete syllabary or not, so I made a table! XD

The "consonants" that are on their own on the left column do not occur independently, hence they do not have an associated frequency. They are there as a headers for the rest of each row.

Transliterations

Narga: /* Toki Pona */ inserted substitution table

'''Transliteration''' is the act of rewriting a given text using letters from a different alphabet. As the ''Book of Woo'' is written in an apparently previously unknown alphabet, it can be difficult to manipulate, analyze, and quote it using computers and the Internet. As such, one of the first steps typically employed is to transliterate the text into another alphabet which can be more easily used. This page contains various transliterations which have been performed and posted for others to use.

The following transliterations have been updated to include all corrections which have been discovered to date (both transcription errors and errors in the original document which have been confirmed by Novil). They have also been reformatted here to better match the layout of the original.

(Some older transliterations without these corrections have also been posted for historical reference in the [[Old Transliterations]] page.)

Two words, WALU and TOKE, do not appear to have a translation. Maybe they're typos.
Regarding grammar, many words can be a noun or an adjective or a verb depending on context.

== Ryan (corrected) ==

Ryan was the first user to transcribe the original text and post the result for others to use. As such, his has become something of a de-facto standard transliteration amongst those discussing the text online. The following version has been updated (by Foogod) to include the corrections noted by Novil and to correspond better with the later Satsuoni-Novil transcription.

== Satsuoni-Novil ==

Satsuoni posted an updated version based on Ryan's original transliteration, but accounting for the character-set overlap which had been observed, and substituting equivalent characters to reduce the effective character set to 16 symbols instead of 31. A corrected version of this transliteration (using the same character mapping as Satsuoni, but fixing several confirmed errors) was later posted by Novil. The following is Novil's corrected version of Satsuoni's mapping of the text.

== Foogod ==

[[User:Foogod|Foogod]] has proposed an alternate character mapping, based on Ryan's and Satsuoni's, but designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni character duplication is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

== nneonneo ==

[[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] proposes another transliteration, this time based on logical properties of the characters and not the glyphs they represent.

Essentially, glyphs are grouped into three classes, "consonants", "vowels" and "other" based on their observed relationships. These groups are translated logically into equivalent English letters. The class names aren't meant to actually imply a relationship to the analogous English letters; they are merely convenient notation to refer to the classes.

The essential properties of this transliteration are as follows:

* The glyph classes can be easily distinguished by eye, because they are quite simply vowels/non-vowels.
* The text itself can now be "pronounced" because of the alternation property of these glyph classes. This aids substantially in word recall as the text is now vaguely (but not too closely) English-like.
* The mapping is intended as a "logical" mapping rather than a "physical" mapping; consequently the characters chosen deliberately bear little to no resemblance to the glyphs
* The mapping partially preserves the frequency distribution: the more common glyphs were mapped into more common English letters where possible.
* The mapping is still lossless because of Satsuoni's observation, though reversing the mapping is somewhat more challenging.

Here's the mapping:

== kana-based token transcription ==

Given the regularities that have been noticed in the ''phonotactics'' (as it were) of how the glyphs are used, with ''consonants'' being consistently followed by ''vowels'', it seemed sensible to me to produce a transcription that takes this into account, representing ''tokens'' (i.e., nneonneo syllables) as one character each. In order to avoid confusing people by overloading the Latin letters yet again, I chose the kana, because they represent syllables in Japanese, and because I am familiar with them.

When choosing individual kana for each token, I chose them so that the results would roughly correspond with the nneonneo transcription when pronounced. I also tried to avoid excessive visual similarity between characters (which would be confusing for people who do not know kana) by taking some of the symbols from katakana and others from hiragana, in order to avoid pairs that would be too similar in appearance. In a couple of cases, I allowed this desire to avoid visual similarity to trump the nneonneo pronunciation correspondance.

Working from the folded text, I assigned the foogod w (nneonneo ') to the sokuon (small tsu), which is a geminator in Japanese, on the theory (mentioned by someone else elsewhere) that it may even be used that way, although this has not really been explored or confirmed yet; and I assigned the other token that can stand on its own (foogod a, nneonneo n) to the syllabic nasal in those situations.

The remainder were chosen so that their standard romanization corresponds to nneonneo, with two exceptions: nneonneo tu (foogod pq) would have been too visually similar to either ' (w) or du (sq), so I grabbed hiragana u, which was available (because nneonneo u is represented by the katakana one); and wu (foogod gq) cannot be written in a single kana character, so I chose a wa character to stand in.

I treated c as k in all cases rather than s. Where two characters would otherwise have differed only by dakuten (voicing), such as with ta/da, or not at all, such as ra/la, I took one from katakana and the other from hiragana.

Here, then, is a draft kana transcription of the text:

Hopefully this transcription may prove useful. If indeed these "tokens" are the basic unit of information for the next layer of decryption, having them represented by just one character each may be helpful. (If nothing else, doing frequency analysis on this transcription shows that we are clearly not yet at the final stage of decryption, since the frequency of individual tokens/kana, except for the four most common ones, clearly falls off linearly.)

I believe there are 46 kana, if I counted correctly (plus &, which I left as ＆ for now). [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]] ([[User talk:Jonadab|talk]]) 14:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

The "consonants" that are on their own on the left column do not occur independently, hence they do not have an associated frequency. They are there as a headers for the rest of each row.

Working Theories

2018-06-26T22:30:18Z

Narga: /* Upper/Lower case characters are the same one */ Fixed a mistake in the use of the book of woo glyphs

Got some ideas? Feel free to contribute!

Add your speculations, theories, current lines of investigation, or suggestions for areas which should be looked into here!

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

== Foogod ==
=== Composite Tokens ===

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#
#; Folded Woo alphabet is wrong
#: Maybe U/u do change letter meaning? This would increase the alphabet density, and shorten the Book (bring plain text average word lengths to normal)
#: Do note that this will bring total number of letters to exactly 30 (+ &) or 26 + UuWw& (if we assume U/u is just to make it harder, and W/w are some kind of spaces), just like German alphabet. (Assuming letter frequencies are not correct, so it's not plain letter substitution, '''PENDING TEST''')

:''(I meant that U/u glyphs do something else apart from switching the alphabet, because we need more letters to fill up to the english/german alphabets.

::''Thank you for your respond.''

::''OK, I think i understand now. But word repetition was almost first I checked when you showed me there are two alphabets. And EVERY single character (not &) is in two different versions - big and small, in same words - I mean with same combination of glyphs.

::''BUT! You made me think about something else. The & glyph can do what you are talking about. u and U in my opinion can't work this way, but & can! It appear in several places and have no upper/lower case character, so it's special.

I was believing & means seeoahtlahmakaskay, and comment about it you see a little lower... But it's just a guess, maybe wrong, what do you think?

::''Ah! And IMO It's not that hard to check if & is making some "things" to our text... With the same way I checked if upper case letters are same as lower case letters.

#
#; Spaces are not boundaries of words
#: Maybe they mark syllables, or other phonetic units? This is placed as an assumption on [[What We Know]] page, but might not be true.
#: This would increase actual word length in the Book, and so in the original as well.
#
#; The language is not plain German/English
#: This can mean that acronyms are used to shorten the words.
#: Maybe just some common German words (pronouns, especially possessive pronouns because they might be used a lot and they are longer (meinen, deinen, seinen, etc.))

#; Information Theory failed me
#: Or I'm just missing something, please correct me if so.

:''(I haven't fully understood what you are trying to say. If you were thinking about substituting common letter groups with a single glyph, that would work, but will INCREASE the needed alphabet, and further increase the 1.3 ratio. If you are thinking about equalising some pairs (e.g. common "ei" and "ie" pairs, which sometimes alternate in verbs), that still won't solve the problem. Unless we combine the two methods and substitute a big number of letter pairs with a single character. But then we'll need to guess which pair we need to use for those glyphs (That would actually work, but then you're basically changing the language which takes us to point number three).)''

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

''(I was sure, & was just "seeoahtlahmakaskay". Does it make sense with this, what you noticed? What you think, you proved that I was thinking correct, or I was going in wrong way, or we can't tell? Maybe There is same word, because it's always name of god and her qualities, like "Zeus the thunderer? Can someone else comment? Guys, we need to talk to get something ;-) [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

''(Oh wowowow i like this theorie, lets thing about it a little more. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

== straycat ==

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te
i_ne'ta i_son'tin'ta gin ro_la'ta gu_wo o'gin ro_la. gin ro_la'ta wi_go
o'na: i'e_te_re o'de de_de'ran. i_ne do_ta'ta se_ne o'na_da "da we_le"
we_le'cen re_de e_to re_de'ta we_le'wen'de sa ru_ni'sa sa_na e_te. won_si
we_le won_si we_le'de to_wo'te i_ne do_ta'ta tu_gan o'gon'sa di_ta'on
se_ge_te. we_le si_ne'on ri_ne

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa
page 4 line 84: won_si'na'gan te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge'len'ta tin

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] [[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]] 02:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:In one book I read, hero founds two part code: one part is the message it self, and the other is the key. But they are merged by some algorithm I can't remember. Maybe it's the case here as well? Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?
::Could the "10,000" on page 3 be related? That's the only thing on the document in a form we recognize (though I'll admit it could just be because encoding numbers would've been too much). - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

== Jones ==

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place. The possibility that there could still be some difference between the sets was considered but deemed unlikely. - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ and Luoypj). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

----

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

=== Polynesian Languages ===

the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vowels
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vowels are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

=== Potbelly hill ===

Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta wrote here somewhere, it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

=== Satsuoni's discovery of the doubled character set ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly Satsuoni discovered the separation in the character set. I can create a distribution of character pairs. But I fail to see "a clear separation" of two sets. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki?

=== Syllabic Nomenclator ===

Interpreting the use of Book of Woo glyphs in a recent comic ([http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/03/21/0973-sandra-and-woo-speedrun-panel-new-wr-8-panels-by-darbian/ 0973 Speedrun]) as a hint from Novil, translating to "lingerie", the final decryption step could be a syllable-based nomenclator (i.e. lookup table) in the style of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Cipher Great Cipher]. It would fit that a french word was used in the hint. So each "word" in the Book of Woo would actually be a syllable (as proposed by some contributors above):

{|class = "wikitable sortable"
|-
!Word
!nneonneo's transliteration
!decoded syllable
|-
|pya||ton||lin
|-
|jald||anre||ge

|-
|daxd||ense||rie
|}
Now there remains only the rest of the syllables to identify :-)
I'd guess that there should be some kind of order to it, maybe connected to the vowel/consonant structure of the words. Otherwise one could identify some of the syllables based on the frequencies with which they appear in the Book of Woo.

[[User:Cordolf|Cordolf]] ([[User talk:Cordolf|talk]]) 18:39, 11 May 2018 (CEST) Just an additional thought - why assume that the plaintext of the glyphs is English? In the German version of the original page that the picture with the "Sexy ____" language is taken from, I believe the German is "dessous". Assuming that this is a hint, we might even be going for other words with essentially the same meaning. "Underwear" or "Unterwasche" (for some reason I can't get the umlaut on that "a"), maybe.

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

=== Toki Pona ===

The newest strip gives a clue, Woo saying "mi tawa". This is in toki pona (http://tokipona.net/tp/Default.aspx), a conlang with an extremely limited wordlist. The language doesn't have capital letters, uses only 15 letters, and all syllables are a consonant (optional if word-initial, required otherwise) followed by a vowel followed by an optional "m" or "n". This seems to closely mirror theories and discoveries about the number of letters used, the consonant-vowel alternation, and other such discoveries.

If the specific meaning of the clue matters, "mi tawa" could be translated in a variety of ways – the limited vocabulary makes context important. "mi" is "me", "my", "we", etc. – first-person, both to indicate oneself and as an adjective indicating possession. "tawa" is mostly about motion – "go to", "walk", "move" – but also can be transportation ("tomo tawa" is a kenning for "car", literally a "moving room/house"). It can also indicate purpose, the official wordlist giving "in order to" as one meaning, but that would leave what Woo said as an incomplete sentence. I think the most likely translations would be "I'm leaving"/"Goodbye" or "My journey". [[User:Qwertystop|Qwertystop]] ([[User talk:Qwertystop|talk]]) 02:17, 25 June 2018 (CEST)

==== Toki Pona and Potbelly Hill ====

Names represented in toki pona are generally converted to the restricted soundset used by it. "Potbelly Hill" would translate as "nena poteli" or "nena potipeli", "nena" being "hill"(or "nose", or generally "protuberance"). If the meaning/intent of the word "potbelly" were translated rather than transliterated, it would be "nena pi sinpin suli", word-for-word literally "hill of chest of bigness" ("sinpin" is "chest", "body", "front", "wall").

Transliterating "Bauchigen", I'm less sure because I don't know German. If that's pronounced roughly the way it looks to an English-speaker, it would transliterate to something like "p[a/u]si[s/k]en".

Does that help in the search? I don't know much about this sort of deciphering, but I do know at least a little toki pona. [[User:Qwertystop|Qwertystop]] ([[User talk:Qwertystop|talk]]) 02:17, 25 June 2018 (CEST)

[[User:Cordolf|Cordolf]] ([[User talk:Cordolf|talk]]) 19:29, 25 June 2018 (CEST) "nena'pi insa suli" - protuberance of big stomach --> big belly hill. Shows up on page 3.

[[User:Qwertystop|Qwertystop]] ([[User talk:Qwertystop|talk]]) 03:00, 26 June 2018 (CEST) Ah. Yeah, I suppose "insa" does work better than "sinpin" here, good catch. Though the single-quote isn't a part of toki pona as such; I don't know if it has meaning in other sections of the text, but it looks from that like it might just be an alternate space?

Narga: Cleaned up a bit

On July 29 2013, in celebration of the 500th strip of the webcomic ''Sandra and Woo'' (http://www.sandraandwoo.com/), author Oliver Knörzer (aka Novil) and artist Puri Andini (Powree) produced [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/29/0500-the-book-of-woo/ a special strip] in which the title character, Woo (a raccoon) had written a story, with a surprising twist. The resulting document, as presented to the readers, was four pages full of dramatic illustrations and text apparently written in a strange language with a unique alphabet. As much a work of art as a puzzle, deciphering the text was presented as a challenge to the readers (including a cash prize).

Inspired at least in part by the [[Wikipedia:Voynich manuscript|Voynich Manuscript]], Novil has stated that the text itself is a real story, and was created by way of an encryption process which can theoretically be reversed to obtain something close to the original (English or German) text. To date, however, despite many attempts, nobody has been able to crack the code, and Woo's masterpiece remains unread by human eyes.

The title of the strip, and how the text itself has come to be known, is "The Book of Woo". This wiki has been put together originally by ''foogod'' in 2014 in an effort to provide a central collaboration space for any and all interested in helping to decipher this work.

Narga: Cleanup, added links

'''June 25, 2018''' — mi tawa

With [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/06/25/filler-please-bear-with-us/ today's filler comic] Novil gave the biggest hint so far that the Book of Woo makes use of the artificial language [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona '''"Toki Pona"''']. The user ratfox already uploaded a [[Transliterations#Toki Pona|transliteration]] of the text in this language, derived by simple substitution from nneonneo's transliteration which was already amazingly close to the real thing. He later also added a [[Transliterations#word-by-word_translation|word-by-word translation]] to English. Now it seems we're almost done! It only remains to reconstruct the story from this simplified version. There are several online translators for Toki Pona available if you want to try translating it yourself. -- [[User:Narga|Narga]] ([[User talk:Narga|talk]])

'''June 25, 2018''' — mi tawa

With today's filler comic Novil gave the biggest hint so far that the Book of Woo makes use of the artificial language '''"Toki Pona"'''. The user ratfox already uploaded a [[Transliterations#Toki Pona|transliteration]] of the text in this language, derived by simple substitution from nneonneo's transliteration which was already amazingly close to the real thing. He later also added a word-by-word translation to English. Now it seems we're almost done! It only remains to reconstruct the story from this simplified version. There are several online translators for Toki Pona available if you want to try translating it yourself. -- Narga

Transliterations

2018-06-25T07:35:39Z

Narga: Formatting

'''Transliteration''' is the act of rewriting a given text using letters from a different alphabet. As the ''Book of Woo'' is written in an apparently previously unknown alphabet, it can be difficult to manipulate, analyze, and quote it using computers and the Internet. As such, one of the first steps typically employed is to transliterate the text into another alphabet which can be more easily used. This page contains various transliterations which have been performed and posted for others to use.

The following transliterations have been updated to include all corrections which have been discovered to date (both transcription errors and errors in the original document which have been confirmed by Novil). They have also been reformatted here to better match the layout of the original.

(Some older transliterations without these corrections have also been posted for historical reference in the [[Old Transliterations]] page.)

== Ryan (corrected) ==

Ryan was the first user to transcribe the original text and post the result for others to use. As such, his has become something of a de-facto standard transliteration amongst those discussing the text online. The following version has been updated (by Foogod) to include the corrections noted by Novil and to correspond better with the later Satsuoni-Novil transcription.

== Satsuoni-Novil ==

Satsuoni posted an updated version based on Ryan's original transliteration, but accounting for the character-set overlap which had been observed, and substituting equivalent characters to reduce the effective character set to 16 symbols instead of 31. A corrected version of this transliteration (using the same character mapping as Satsuoni, but fixing several confirmed errors) was later posted by Novil. The following is Novil's corrected version of Satsuoni's mapping of the text.

== Foogod ==

[[User:Foogod|Foogod]] has proposed an alternate character mapping, based on Ryan's and Satsuoni's, but designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni character duplication is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

Note that an Open Type Font [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/misc/WooGlyphSans.otf WooGlyphSans] of the ''Book of Woo'' alphabet is also available using this mapping, and is embedded in some articles of this wiki.

== nneonneo ==

[[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] proposes another transliteration, this time based on logical properties of the characters and not the glyphs they represent.

Essentially, glyphs are grouped into three classes, "consonants", "vowels" and "other" based on their observed relationships. These groups are translated logically into equivalent English letters. The class names aren't meant to actually imply a relationship to the analogous English letters; they are merely convenient notation to refer to the classes.

The essential properties of this transliteration are as follows:

* The glyph classes can be easily distinguished by eye, because they are quite simply vowels/non-vowels.
* The text itself can now be "pronounced" because of the alternation property of these glyph classes. This aids substantially in word recall as the text is now vaguely (but not too closely) English-like.
* The mapping is intended as a "logical" mapping rather than a "physical" mapping; consequently the characters chosen deliberately bear little to no resemblance to the glyphs
* The mapping partially preserves the frequency distribution: the more common glyphs were mapped into more common English letters where possible.
* The mapping is still lossless because of Satsuoni's observation, though reversing the mapping is somewhat more challenging.

Here's the mapping:

{| border=1

== kana-based token transcription ==

Given the regularities that have been noticed in the ''phonotactics'' (as it were) of how the glyphs are used, with ''consonants'' being consistently followed by ''vowels'', it seemed sensible to me to produce a transcription that takes this into account, representing ''tokens'' (i.e., nneonneo syllables) as one character each. In order to avoid confusing people by overloading the Latin letters yet again, I chose the kana, because they represent syllables in Japanese, and because I am familiar with them.

When choosing individual kana for each token, I chose them so that the results would roughly correspond with the nneonneo transcription when pronounced. I also tried to avoid excessive visual similarity between characters (which would be confusing for people who do not know kana) by taking some of the symbols from katakana and others from hiragana, in order to avoid pairs that would be too similar in appearance. In a couple of cases, I allowed this desire to avoid visual similarity to trump the nneonneo pronunciation correspondance.

Working from the folded text, I assigned the foogod w (nneonneo ') to the sokuon (small tsu), which is a geminator in Japanese, on the theory (mentioned by someone else elsewhere) that it may even be used that way, although this has not really been explored or confirmed yet; and I assigned the other token that can stand on its own (foogod a, nneonneo n) to the syllabic nasal in those situations.

The remainder were chosen so that their standard romanization corresponds to nneonneo, with two exceptions: nneonneo tu (foogod pq) would have been too visually similar to either ' (w) or du (sq), so I grabbed hiragana u, which was available (because nneonneo u is represented by the katakana one); and wu (foogod gq) cannot be written in a single kana character, so I chose a wa character to stand in.

I treated c as k in all cases rather than s. Where two characters would otherwise have differed only by dakuten (voicing), such as with ta/da, or not at all, such as ra/la, I took one from katakana and the other from hiragana.

Here, then, is a draft kana transcription of the text:

Hopefully this transcription may prove useful. If indeed these "tokens" are the basic unit of information for the next layer of decryption, having them represented by just one character each may be helpful. (If nothing else, doing frequency analysis on this transcription shows that we are clearly not yet at the final stage of decryption, since the frequency of individual tokens/kana, except for the four most common ones, clearly falls off linearly.)

I believe there are 46 kana, if I counted correctly (plus &, which I left as ＆ for now). [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]] ([[User talk:Jonadab|talk]]) 14:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

I wondered whether [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]]'s "tokenization" was a complete syllabary or not, so I made a table! XD

The "consonants" that are on their own on the left column do not occur independently, hence they do not have an associated frequency. They are there as a headers for the rest of each row.

Working Theories

2018-03-27T21:30:52Z

Narga: /* Narga */

Got some ideas? Feel free to contribute!

Add your speculations, theories, current lines of investigation, or suggestions for areas which should be looked into here!

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

== Foogod ==
=== Composite Tokens ===

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#
#; Folded Woo alphabet is wrong
#: Maybe U/u do change letter meaning? This would increase the alphabet density, and shorten the Book (bring plain text average word lengths to normal)
#: Do note that this will bring total number of letters to exactly 30 (+ &) or 26 + UuWw& (if we assume U/u is just to make it harder, and W/w are some kind of spaces), just like German alphabet. (Assuming letter frequencies are not correct, so it's not plain letter substitution, '''PENDING TEST''')

:''(I meant that U/u glyphs do something else apart from switching the alphabet, because we need more letters to fill up to the english/german alphabets.

::''Thank you for your respond.''

::''OK, I think i understand now. But word repetition was almost first I checked when you showed me there are two alphabets.

:''(I haven't fully understood what you are trying to say. If you were thinking about substituting common letter groups with a single glyph, that would work, but will INCREASE the needed alphabet, and further increase the 1.3 ratio. If you are thinking about equalising some pairs (e.g. common "ei" and "ie" pairs, which sometimes alternate in verbs), that still won't solve the problem. Unless we combine the two methods and substitute a big number of letter pairs with a single character. But then we'll need to guess which pair we need to use for those glyphs (That would actually work, but then you're basically changing the language which takes us to point number three).)''

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

''(I was sure, & was just "seeoahtlahmakaskay". Does it make sense with this, what you noticed? What you think, you proved that I was thinking correct, or I was going in wrong way, or we can't tell? Maybe There is same word, because it's always name of god and her qualities, like "Zeus the thunderer? Can someone else comment? Guys, we need to talk to get something ;-) [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

''(Oh wowowow i like this theorie, lets thing about it a little more. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

== straycat ==

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

adfgjklopqsuwxy
=>
negwacrltudi'so

and a text sample:

rilota dota'ta nada o'na: rilota dota'ta wiga sige'gin rola. len'te
dota ruta'te ine'ta'ci o & sadoce. wonsi nense letu rago sana'te
ine'ta ison'tin'ta gin rola'ta guwo o'gin rola. gin rola'ta wigo
o'na: i'etere o'de dede'ran. ine dota'ta sene o'nada "da wele"
wele'cen rede eto rede'ta wele'wen'de sa runi'sa sana ete. wonsi
wele wonsi wele'de towo'te ine dota'ta tugan o'gon'sa dita'on
segete. wele sine'on rine

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

''(Very good, just one addition: I think that instead of apostrophe, the symbol for w should be a dash "-" because its clearer to see in normal text ''(dota'ta vs dota-ta)''. Apart from that, this transliteration will ease pronunciation of the text)[[User:Stargatetabc|Stargatetabc]] ([[User talk:Stargatetabc|talk]]) 06:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)''

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te
i_ne'ta i_son'tin'ta gin ro_la'ta gu_wo o'gin ro_la. gin ro_la'ta wi_go
o'na: i'e_te_re o'de de_de'ran. i_ne do_ta'ta se_ne o'na_da "da we_le"
we_le'cen re_de e_to re_de'ta we_le'wen'de sa ru_ni'sa sa_na e_te. won_si
we_le won_si we_le'de to_wo'te i_ne do_ta'ta tu_gan o'gon'sa di_ta'on
se_ge_te. we_le si_ne'on ri_ne

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa
page 4 line 84: won_si'na'gan te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge'len'ta tin

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] [[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]] 02:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:In one book I read, hero founds two part code: one part is the message it self, and the other is the key. But they are merged by some algorithm I can't remember. Maybe it's the case here as well? Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?
::Could the "10,000" on page 3 be related? That's the only thing on the document in a form we recognize (though I'll admit it could just be because encoding numbers would've been too much). - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

== Jones ==

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place. The possibility that there could still be some difference between the sets was considered but deemed unlikely. - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ]] and Luoypj]]). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

----

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

=== Polynesian Languages ===

the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vowels
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vowels are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

=== Potbelly hill ===

Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta wrote here somewhere, it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

=== Satsuoni's discovery of the doubled character set ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly Satsuoni discovered the separation in the character set. I can create a distribution of character pairs. But I fail to see "a clear separation" of two sets. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki?

=== Syllabic Nomenclator ===

Interpreting the use of Book of Woo glyphs in a recent comic ([http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/03/21/0973-sandra-and-woo-speedrun-panel-new-wr-8-panels-by-darbian/ 0973 Speedrun]) as a hint from Novil, translating to "lingerie", the final decryption step could be a syllable-based nomenclator (i.e. lookup table) in the style of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Cipher Great Cipher]. It would fit that a french word was used in the hint. So each "word" in the Book of Woo would actually be a syllable (as proposed by some contributors above):

{|class = "wikitable sortable"
|-
!Word
!nneonneo's transliteration
!decoded syllable
|-
|pya||ton||lin
|-
|jald||anre||ge

|-
|daxd||ense||rie
|}
Now there remains only the rest of the syllables to identify :-)
I'd guess that there should be some kind of order to it, maybe connected to the vowel/consonant structure of the words. Otherwise one could identify some of the syllables based on the frequencies with which they appear in the Book of Woo.

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

Got some ideas? Feel free to contribute!

Add your speculations, theories, current lines of investigation, or suggestions for areas which should be looked into here!

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#
#; Folded Woo alphabet is wrong
#: Maybe U/u do change letter meaning? This would increase the alphabet density, and shorten the Book (bring plain text average word lengths to normal)
#: Do note that this will bring total number of letters to exactly 30 (+ &) or 26 + UuWw& (if we assume U/u is just to make it harder, and W/w are some kind of spaces), just like German alphabet. (Assuming letter frequencies are not correct, so it's not plain letter substitution, '''PENDING TEST''')

:''(I meant that U/u glyphs do something else apart from switching the alphabet, because we need more letters to fill up to the english/german alphabets.

:''(I haven't fully understood what you are trying to say.

Unless we combine the two methods and substitute a big number of letter pairs with a single character. But then we'll need to guess which pair we need to use for those glyphs (That would actually work, but then you're basically changing the language which takes us to point number three).)''

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

== straycat ==

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

adfgjklopqsuwxy
=>
negwacrltudi'so

and a text sample:

rilota dota'ta nada o'na: rilota dota'ta wiga sige'gin rola. len'te
dota ruta'te ine'ta'ci o & sadoce. wonsi nense letu rago sana'te
ine'ta ison'tin'ta gin rola'ta guwo o'gin rola. gin rola'ta wigo
o'na: i'etere o'de dede'ran. ine dota'ta sene o'nada "da wele"
wele'cen rede eto rede'ta wele'wen'de sa runi'sa sana ete. wonsi
wele wonsi wele'de towo'te ine dota'ta tugan o'gon'sa dita'on
segete. wele sine'on rine

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

''(Very good, just one addition: I think that instead of apostrophe, the symbol for w should be a dash "-" because its clearer to see in normal text ''(dota'ta vs dota-ta)''. Apart from that, this transliteration will ease pronunciation of the text)[[User:Stargatetabc|Stargatetabc]] ([[User talk:Stargatetabc|talk]]) 06:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)''

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te
i_ne'ta i_son'tin'ta gin ro_la'ta gu_wo o'gin ro_la. gin ro_la'ta wi_go
o'na: i'e_te_re o'de de_de'ran. i_ne do_ta'ta se_ne o'na_da "da we_le"
we_le'cen re_de e_to re_de'ta we_le'wen'de sa ru_ni'sa sa_na e_te. won_si
we_le won_si we_le'de to_wo'te i_ne do_ta'ta tu_gan o'gon'sa di_ta'on
se_ge_te. we_le si_ne'on ri_ne

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] [[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]] 02:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:In one book I read, hero founds two part code: one part is the message it self, and the other is the key. But they are merged by some algorithm I can't remember. Maybe it's the case here as well? Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?
::Could the "10,000" on page 3 be related? That's the only thing on the document in a form we recognize (though I'll admit it could just be because encoding numbers would've been too much). - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

== Jones ==

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place. The possibility that there could still be some difference between the sets was considered but deemed unlikely. - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ]] and Luoypj]]). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

----

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

== Narga ==

=== Polynesian Languages ===

my two cents: the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vocals
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vocals are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

=== Potbelly hill ===

Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta wrote here somewhere, it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

=== Satsuoni's discovery of the doubled character set ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly Satsuoni discovered the separation in the character set. I can create a distribution of character pairs. But I fail to see "a clear separation" of two sets. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki?

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

What We Know

2018-03-08T17:19:11Z

Narga: /* First Decryption Step Confirmed */

On this page we summarize confirmed (by Novil, the creator of the Book of Woo) statements, hints and results.

== What We Know ==

When putting forth the original challenge, Novil stated the following:

<blockquote>Unlike the Voynich manuscript, The Book of Woo definitely contains sensible information that can be deciphered. I guarantee it ;-).</blockquote>

He also provided the following hints:

* The encryption isn't based on an algorithm only suitable for computers which executes a loop 100 times or something like that.
* The encryption isn't based on some sort of device or mechanism that is hard to get.
* No “classical” steganographic method was used since that would just be impossibly hard to crack.
* The plain text is some sort of literature, as one can guess from Woo’s comment and the illustrations. A lot of time went into the plain text as well, it’s not just a copy of the first page of Rascal or something like that.

In a later comment, Novil also clarified:

<blockquote>I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both and an arbitrary number of encipherment steps (in a broad definition) have then been carried out that finally resulted in the text you can see above.</blockquote>

=== First Decryption Step Confirmed ===

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

<blockquote>By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]</blockquote>

..and then a bit later posted [[Transliterations#Satsuoni-Novil|a new transliteration]] with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.

In Craig Bauer's book [https://books.google.de/books?id=C5mqDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA487&lpg=PA487&dq=foogod+book+of+woo&source=bl&ots=sW-JS9Ofp8&sig=3FzP2RFzYP-ZFZYvXyx_NhvKmSM&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwif48PLkMzZAhWJ6qQKHXmdCHcQ6AEIVjAK Unsolved!] Novil actually says that Satsuoni cracked the '''last''' encryption step. So this doubling of the character set might have been a (quite successful) attempt to obscure the otherwise plainly visible fact that there are (at some stage at the end of the encoding process) only 15+1 different symbols that also separate into two alphabets.

=== Potbelly Hill Hint ===

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

<blockquote>I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel

It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.</blockquote>

:There is something strange here: the german part is not in its nominative (that would be BauchigeR Hügel). so i guess there is something like "on the/atop the/below the/... Potbelly Hill". --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 06:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Corrections to the Text ===

When Novil confirmed Satsuoni's conclusions, he also posted some clarifications and a corrected transliteration (using Satsuoni's character mapping), which confirmed the following:

* Page 3, lower part, line 5, word 5: The artwork contains an error that is already fixed in the transcription, the correct word is: i/hvrn (Luoypj)
* Page 4, line 5, word 7: The artwork contains a minor error: There shouldn’t be a full stop after #=s= (fdsd) '''[The artwork on www.sandraandwoo.com was fixed on 27 June 2014.]'''
* Page 4, line 9, word 1: Satsuoni's initial transcription contains an error, the correct word is: rb#=zcbzh=m (pqfdwgqwoda)
* Page 4, line 11, word 1: Novil has since also confirmed that the last line of the text, which had previously been transliterated as two words, is in fact a single word with no spaces (xjsykdwpjwlja). '''[The artwork on www.sandraandwoo.com was fixed on 27 June 2014.]'''

('''Note:''' All of these corrections have already been applied to all of the transliterations available from the main [[Transliterations]] page of this wiki.)

== What We Assume ==

There are several properties which most solvers have, to date, assumed to be true (or mostly true), even though they have not been explicitly stated as such by Novil. In many cases, this is because they are fairly likely to be true and if they are not true, breaking the code would become substantially more difficult, or maybe even impossible. It is important to recognize, however, that while these are likely to be the case, they might not be, or might be only partially true:

* There are several symbols in the ciphertext which look the same as standard English/German punctuation symbols, and it is assumed they are being used in the same way. Specifically, period (.), exclamation point (!), colon (:), and quote marks ("").

* It has generally been assumed that the position of spaces in the ciphertext corresponds to word boundaries in the plaintext (so a "word" in the encrypted version corresponds with a word in the original/decrypted version).

* There is one symbol (represented as "&" in most transliterations, sometimes referred to as "oPo") which only ever appears as a "word" by itself. Due to its absence elsewhere in the text, it is assumed that this does not represent a single character, but more likely an entire word, set of words, or proper noun.

== Unrelated Cryptoquotes ==

It is important to note that there are several encrypted quotes which appear at the top of the ''Sandra and Woo'' website from time to time. Novil has confirmed that these quotes are unrelated puzzles and '''do not''' have anything to do with The Book of Woo or its encryption:

:Ssssao fem Iha wl aiv bl olwv rised. – Antonio Averlino [1465]
:Kaagia aag Scc as gr uie srn. – H. C. Reynolds [1948]
:Psidms sid Vjj cp ktmr ojgd. – Thomas Jefferson Beale [1820]
:Andrsn nds Chh fd smosud wsntdkdfah. – Sámuel Literáti Nemes [1833]

In the description of strip [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/08/15/0504-sandra-wilkes/ #504], Novil posted the solutions to these unrelated mini-puzzles:

== Background ==

On July 29 2013, in celebration of the 500th strip of the webcomic ''Sandra and Woo'' (http://www.sandraandwoo.com/), author Oliver Knörzer (aka Novil) and artist Puri Andini (Powree) produced [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/29/0500-the-book-of-woo/ a special strip] in which the title character, Woo (a raccoon) had written a story, with a surprising twist. The resulting document, as presented to the readers, was four pages full of dramatic illustrations and text apparently written in a strange language with a unique alphabet. As much a work of art as a puzzle, deciphering the text was presented as a challenge to the readers (including a cash prize).

Inspired at least in part by the [[Wikipedia:Voynich manuscript|Voynich Manuscript]], Novil has stated that the text itself is a real story, and was created by way of an encryption process which can theoretically be reversed to obtain something close to the original (English or German) text. To date, however, despite many attempts, nobody has been able to crack the code, and Woo's masterpiece remains unread by human eyes.

The title of the strip, and how the text itself has come to be known, is "The Book of Woo". This wiki has been put together in an effort to provide a central collaboration space for any and all interested in helping to decipher this work.

== Some facts ==
The following statements about the Book of Woo are important and accepted/confirmed to be true:
* The Book of Woo definitely contains sensible information that can be deciphered.
* The encryption isn't based on some sort of device or mechanism that is hard to get.
* The plain text is some sort of literature, as one can guess from Woo’s comment and the illustrations. A lot of time went into the plain text as well.
* The story for “The Book of Woo” is written in English or German or both and an arbitrary number of encipherment steps (in a broad definition) have then been carried out.
* The following word appears in the plain text: ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel . Novil says "It should be quite easy to determine on which page."

More facts can be found on this page: [[What_We_Know|What we know]]

== Important analysis findings ==
* There are 31 different text symbols used in the Book of Woo.
* The character frequency does neither follow english nor german character frequencies but is rather atypical for a plain text suggesting some frequency-altering encoding process.
* It is generally assumed that word breaks (i.e. spaces), quotation marks, comma, and full stops will remain the same during the decoding.
* On August 2, 2012, the reader Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread (which was later on confirmed by Novil to be correct):
<blockquote>By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]</blockquote>
* This was taken into account for the first time in the [[Transliterations#Satsuoni-Novil|Satsuoni-Novil transliteration]] but became a bit more usable with [[Transliterations#Foogod|Foogod's transliteration]].
* Phlosioneer discovered that there are two sub-alphabets '''jdyqu''' and '''olpkgfxs''' (using Foogod's transliteration) + the special characters '''a''' and '''w''' that seem to be spaces or word connectors. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word the following way:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.
* nneonneo has taken this fact into account in his [[Transliterations#nneonneo|transliteration]] by using vowels and consonants for the two alphabets.
* Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta wrote here somewhere, it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the drawn box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

== Transliterations ==
I suggest to get started with Foogod's transliteration. It was designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni(2012) character duplication (see above) is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

It is now possible to include ''Book of Woo'' symbols directly in wiki pages!

== How to do it ==

There are a few ways to do this:

# Surround text with either <code></code> or <code><div class="WooFont"></code> tags.
# Add the <code>class="WooFont"</code> attribute to any other Wiki markup which supports adding HTML attributes (for example, <code><pre></code>)

Some examples:

{| class="wikitable"
! Description
! width=40% | You type
! width=40% | You get
|-
| Using 
| <pre>The first word is lUOYPJ!</pre>
| The first word is lUOYPJ!
|-
| Preformatted wootext
| <pre>
<pre class="WooFont">
lUOYPJ SYPJWPJ AJSJ YWAJ:
Luoypj sypjwpj gUFJ
XufdwfUA LYOJ.
</pre>
</pre>
|
<pre class="WooFont">
lUOYPJ SYPJWPJ AJSJ YWAJ:
Luoypj sypjwpj gUFJ
XufdwfUA LYOJ.
</pre>
|-
| Use of <code>class="WooFont"</code> in a table
| <pre>
{| class="WooFont"
|A||D||F||G||J||K||L||O||P||Q||S||U||W||X||Y
|-
|a||d||f||g||j||k||l||o||p||q||s||u||w||x||y||&
|}
</pre>
|
{| class="WooFont"
|A||D||F||G||J||K||L||O||P||Q||S||U||W||X||Y
|-
|a||d||f||g||j||k||l||o||p||q||s||u||w||x||y||&
|}
|}

== Caveats ==

Because this functionality makes use of the [[Transliterations#Foogod|Foogod character mapping]], to use this functionality currently, your text must be written using the Foogod transliteration.

If there's enough demand, I'll try to look into supporting other transliterations too, but I'm not sure how complicated that would end up being.. -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]])

== Compatibility ==

This functionality makes use of the CSS3 @font-face feature and web fonts to render the WooGlyph font even when it isn't installed on the local user's system. This should be supported fairly well by all modern browsers. If you find an OS/browser which does ''not'' work, please note it below.

=== Tested Web Browsers ===

{| class="wikitable"
! OS
! Browser
! Version
! Works
|-
| Windows || Chrome || 34.0 || Yes
|-
| Windows || Firefox || 28.0 || Yes
|-
| Windows || Internet Explorer || 8.0 || Yes
|-
| Linux || Chromium || 31.0 || Yes
|-
| Linux || Firefox || 26.0 || Yes
|}

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Why am I getting a bunch of little paw characters everywhere in my text? ===

This probably means you're using the wrong transliteration. The WooGlyph font will display a raccoon paw outline for any letter which doesn't exist in the font, and the font only contains the letters which are present when using the [[Transliterations#Foogod|Foogod transliteration]].

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

== Foogod ==
=== Composite Tokens ===

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

adfgjklopqsuwxy
=>
negwacrltudi'so

and a text sample:

rilota dota'ta nada o'na: rilota dota'ta wiga sige'gin rola. len'te
dota ruta'te ine'ta'ci o & sadoce. wonsi nense letu rago sana'te
ine'ta ison'tin'ta gin rola'ta guwo o'gin rola. gin rola'ta wigo
o'na: i'etere o'de dede'ran. ine dota'ta sene o'nada "da wele"
wele'cen rede eto rede'ta wele'wen'de sa runi'sa sana ete. wonsi
wele wonsi wele'de towo'te ine dota'ta tugan o'gon'sa dita'on
segete. wele sine'on rine

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

''(Very good, just one addition: I think that instead of apostrophe, the symbol for w should be a dash "-" because its clearer to see in normal text ''(dota'ta vs dota-ta)''. Apart from that, this transliteration will ease pronunciation of the text)[[User:Stargatetabc|Stargatetabc]] ([[User talk:Stargatetabc|talk]]) 06:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)''

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te
i_ne'ta i_son'tin'ta gin ro_la'ta gu_wo o'gin ro_la. gin ro_la'ta wi_go
o'na: i'e_te_re o'de de_de'ran. i_ne do_ta'ta se_ne o'na_da "da we_le"
we_le'cen re_de e_to re_de'ta we_le'wen'de sa ru_ni'sa sa_na e_te. won_si
we_le won_si we_le'de to_wo'te i_ne do_ta'ta tu_gan o'gon'sa di_ta'on
se_ge_te. we_le si_ne'on ri_ne

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling.

Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place. The possibility that there could still be some difference between the sets was considered but deemed unlikely. - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ]] and Luoypj]]). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

----

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

=== Polynesian Languages ===

my two cents: the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vocals
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vocals are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

=== Potbelly hill ===

Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta wrote here somewhere, it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

=== Satsuoni's discovery of the doubled character set ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly Satsuoni discovered the separation in the character set. I can create a distribution of character pairs. But I fail to see "a clear separation" of two sets. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki? What do you think was from Novil's perspective the reason to implement this? It seems this is the first officially confirmed step of decoding. Do you think it was supposed to be discovered at this point (i.e. the beginning) and provide some hint at the content or else become apparent much later?

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

Working Theories

Got some ideas? Feel free to contribute!

Add your speculations, theories, current lines of investigation, or suggestions for areas which should be looked into here!

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

== Foogod ==
=== Composite Tokens ===

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#
#; Folded Woo alphabet is wrong
#: Maybe U/u do change letter meaning? This would increase the alphabet density, and shorten the Book (bring plain text average word lengths to normal)
#: Do note that this will bring total number of letters to exactly 30 (+ &) or 26 + UuWw& (if we assume U/u is just to make it harder, and W/w are some kind of spaces), just like German alphabet. (Assuming letter frequencies are not correct, so it's not plain letter substitution, '''PENDING TEST''')

Unless we combine the two methods and substitute a big number of letter pairs with a single character. But then we'll need to guess which pair we need to use for those glyphs (That would actually work, but then you're basically changing the language which takes us to point number three).)''

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

''(I was sure, & was just "seeoahtlahmakaskay". Does it make sense with this, what you noticed? What you think, you proved that I was thinking correct, or I was going in wrong way, or we can't tell? Maybe There is same word, because it's always name of god and her qualities, like "Zeus the thunderer? Can someone else comment?

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

adfgjklopqsuwxy
=>
negwacrltudi'so

and a text sample:

rilota dota'ta nada o'na: rilota dota'ta wiga sige'gin rola. len'te
dota ruta'te ine'ta'ci o & sadoce. wonsi nense letu rago sana'te
ine'ta ison'tin'ta gin rola'ta guwo o'gin rola. gin rola'ta wigo
o'na: i'etere o'de dede'ran. ine dota'ta sene o'nada "da wele"
wele'cen rede eto rede'ta wele'wen'de sa runi'sa sana ete. wonsi
wele wonsi wele'de towo'te ine dota'ta tugan o'gon'sa dita'on
segete. wele sine'on rine

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

''(Very good, just one addition: I think that instead of apostrophe, the symbol for w should be a dash "-" because its clearer to see in normal text ''(dota'ta vs dota-ta)''. Apart from that, this transliteration will ease pronunciation of the text)[[User:Stargatetabc|Stargatetabc]] ([[User talk:Stargatetabc|talk]]) 06:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)''

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te
i_ne'ta i_son'tin'ta gin ro_la'ta gu_wo o'gin ro_la. gin ro_la'ta wi_go
o'na: i'e_te_re o'de de_de'ran. i_ne do_ta'ta se_ne o'na_da "da we_le"
we_le'cen re_de e_to re_de'ta we_le'wen'de sa ru_ni'sa sa_na e_te. won_si
we_le won_si we_le'de to_wo'te i_ne do_ta'ta tu_gan o'gon'sa di_ta'on
se_ge_te. we_le si_ne'on ri_ne

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa
page 4 line 84: won_si'na'gan te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge'len'ta tin

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] [[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]] 02:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:In one book I read, hero founds two part code: one part is the message it self, and the other is the key. But they are merged by some algorithm I can't remember. Maybe it's the case here as well? Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?
::Could the "10,000" on page 3 be related? That's the only thing on the document in a form we recognize (though I'll admit it could just be because encoding numbers would've been too much). - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

== Jones ==

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place.

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ]] and Luoypj]]). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

=== Polynesian Languages ===

my two cents: the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vocals
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vocals are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

=== Potbelly hill ===

Potbelly Hill is an archaeological site in Turkey (called Göbekli Tepe there). As the user Rilota Ta here somewhere it is most likely referred to on page 3 of the Book of Woo, as 10.000 BC is the approximate age of the site and the scorpion figure on top of the box is very similar to the one on stone pillar #43 there. http://aintnohothouseflower.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/254952-a.jpg

=== Satsuoni's discovery of the doubled character set ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly Satsuoni discovered the separation in the character set. I can create a distribution of character pairs. But I fail to see "a clear separation" of two sets. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki? What do you think was from Novil's perspective the reason to implement this? It seems this is the first officially confirmed step of decoding. Do you think it was supposed to be discovered at this point (i.e. the beginning) and provide some hint at the content or else become apparent much later?

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

Working Theories

Narga:

Got some ideas? Feel free to contribute!

Add your speculations, theories, current lines of investigation, or suggestions for areas which should be looked into here!

'''A couple of notes about this section:''' This is a place to collect all kinds of theories from all kinds of sources. It is quite possible (and likely) that there will be different theories which disagree with or contradict each other, and that's fine (great scientific progress often starts with a bunch of competing theories!). Updating and building off other people's theories is OK (and encouraged!) but please do not make substantial changes to other people's texts (particularly those written in the first person) without consulting them first. Making additions (comments, etc) is OK, but please try to do it in a way that it does not disrupt the original text too much (such as placing them at the end), and make sure your comments are annotated with your own username so they don't sound like they're being said by somebody else (you can use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) in your text to automatically insert your username and a time/date).

==Phlosioneer==
=== Alternation Work ===
I have discovered two sub-alphabets (using Foogod's transliteration):
# '''jdyqu'''
# '''olpkgfxs'''
And two other letters: '''a''' and '''w'''. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word like so:
# Begin at the ending of a word, with alphabet #1.
# Alternate alphabets until the beginning of the word is reached.

The exceptions to this rule are the '''a''' and '''w''' characters. These characters seem to be nulls, randomly thrown in. The only hard and fast rule is that they reset the alternating alphabets back to alphabet #1. I suspect there are rules governing when to use these characters, but I can't figure them out.

Some random stats about these alphabets:

• They are unequally used: #1 appears 926 times, while #2 appears 775 times.

• '''a''' and '''w''' appear roughly the same number of times: 181 and 204, respectively.

• '''a''' comes after a #1 alphabet 60 times, after a #2 alphabet 38 times, after a '''w''' 27 times, and at the beginning of a word 56 times.

• '''w''' comes after a #1 alphabet 12 times, after a #2 alphabet 102 times, after an '''a''' 10 times, and at the beginning of a word 80 times.

=== Translation of "and" ===

I have come to believe that the word prefix yw ("yw" in the foogod transliteration) is translated into the word "and". I came to this conclusion by identifying phrases and determining where clause breaks must happen, and then looking at what was common between them. This result is confirmed through careful study of the patterns of words with w's in them, and by the one appearance of y immediately before &. Whenever there is the word "and" in the plaintext, it is first translated into y, and then mashed into the following word with w. This can't be done before &, so it becomes its own stand-alone word.

I'll add more concrete evidence here when my Finals are over.

== Foogod ==
=== Composite Tokens ===

''(The following is my own variation of interpretations of some of the character-alternation behavior observed by many people (including Phlosioneer's above) -- [[User:Foogod|Foogod]] ([[User talk:Foogod|talk]]))''

Working from the folded text, it becomes fairly clear that there are three, largely distinct, classes of glyphs at work (ignoring & for the time being):

* Class 1: p s l f x g k o
* Class 2: j d u y q
* Class 3: a w

Based on this, the text can be divided up into individual "tokens" according to the following rules:

A token consists of:
* A class-1 glyph followed by a class-2 glyph
* A class-3 glyph by itself
* (at the beginning of a word or following a class-3 glyph) A class-2 glyph by itself

(Note that unlike w, the a glyph occurs quite frequently followed by class-2 glyphs, the same way a class-1 glyph would. However, it also appears quite frequently on its own, unlike any other class-1 glyph. Its classification in this model is therefore somewhat uncertain at this point.)

It is unclear whether the solo class-2 glyphs represent unique tokens, or whether they are simply "shorthand" for some of the other class-1 + class-2 combinations. For the time being, they are being considered distinct. If we therefore map out all of the tokens found in the text according to these rules, we come up with the following "41-token alphabet":

<div class="wootext">
{| class="wikitable"
| d|| j|| q|| u|| y
|-
|fd||fj||fq||fu||fy
|-
|gd|| ||gq||gu||gy
|-
|kd|| || ||ku||ky
|-
|ld||lj||lq||lu||ly
|-
|od||oj|| || ||oy
|-
|pd||pj||pq||pu||py
|-
|sd||sj||sq||su||sy
|-
|xd||xj|| ||xu||xy
|-
|colspan="5"|
|-
|w||a
|}
</div>

If we take tokens as letters, obviously, this alphabet is significantly larger than that of English or German. It also results in substantially shorter average word lengths in the text than would be expected. My current theory is that some tokens probably map directly to letters, but that many additional tokens may map to common multiple-letter sequences (such as "ing" or "ed" word-endings in English), and that this may account for both the atypical word lengths and the larger number of tokens involved.

=== w as Space/Suffix/Shift Marker ===

There are numerous words in the text which appear both as their own word and also as the prefix for other words (this may correspond to, for example, the tendency in English to change the tense or part of speech by adding a suffix to an existing word (i.e. "-ed" for past tense, or "-ly" to make an adverb)).

One particularly noteworthy observation that a couple of people have made (directly or indirectly) is that whenever this occurs, the suffix portion of the longer word always begins with the w character. In some cases there appear to be multiple suffixes tacked onto the same word in this way (for example, gdod suffixed by wsd suffixed by wxj).

However, it is important to note also that w shows up in various other locations which do not appear to be suffixes in the same way, making things more fuzzy.

There are a couple of current theories regarding this:

# The w character is actually some sort of "space" character, and possibly these suffixes are not actually suffixes but instead other words (the meaning of using w instead of space in this context is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "suffix marker" or "suffix glue" to indicate when a suffix is being tacked onto another word (whether this is just redundant or is required for some semantic purpose is unclear).
# w is being used as some sort of "shift" character to change the meaning of the following characters/tokens (possibly, the "alternate token set" contains a bunch of common word endings which are not present in the normal "token alphabet").

== Guy0320 ==
=== W as a dash/hyphen/space ===

W appears to be used as a dash connecting smaller words to make larger ones. Several four and three letter standalone words in the text appear as a part of larger words within the text. Smaller words isolated and found used as a prefix before W on the first page of ''The Book of Woo'' include UAD, LYOJ, LDSD, and GDOD.

W may also be a space character introduced at some point during encryption to throw off word length analysis by creating a large word which is actually two short words in the plain text.

== StarGateTABC ==

These are just theories and the proofs are just the steps I've taken to get to the conclusion. Please edit my theory freely if you find any writing mistakes. I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting the wiki, so I just dumped my ideas here. And I'm not sure if someone mentioned them earlier.

===Information density and word length===

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I know something about Information Theory.

Let's say my "Not English nor German" theory is wrong and text really is written in English and/or German. English has 26 letters, while German has 30 letters (or also 26 if not counting ü, ä, ö and ß). Folded Woo alphabet has 15 characters plus &. So, because the alphabet is two times less dense (has less characters), the message must be approximately log15(30) = 1.3 times longer. In other words, the original text is 0.7 times shorter. If we assume spaces are word breaks, this also means that words are shorter as well. In Foogods transliteration, average word length is around 6.2 (2186 letters / 353 words), which means that original has average word length of 4.3. I'm pretty sure both German and English have average words longer than that, especially in a meaningful text worth deciphering.

But wait, there's more: If we assume W/w are spaces/sufix markers/prefix markers/dashes things get even fuzzier. We get a lot of shorter words lowering the average to 5.1 letters per word (3.6 in original), and alphabet to 14 (+ &)). But surprisingly, there are no one letter words except Y/y which appears 26 times (but only once without being pre-/suffixed to another word), and a single u, which is also prefixed to another word. (Also interesting that solo Y and prefix u are both on the first page).

This could mean one or more of these things:

#
#; Folded Woo alphabet is wrong
#: Maybe U/u do change letter meaning? This would increase the alphabet density, and shorten the Book (bring plain text average word lengths to normal)
#: Do note that this will bring total number of letters to exactly 30 (+ &) or 26 + UuWw& (if we assume U/u is just to make it harder, and W/w are some kind of spaces), just like German alphabet. (Assuming letter frequencies are not correct, so it's not plain letter substitution, '''PENDING TEST''')

Unless we combine the two methods and substitute a big number of letter pairs with a single character. But then we'll need to guess which pair we need to use for those glyphs (That would actually work, but then you're basically changing the language which takes us to point number three).)''

===The interesting &===

Note: I'm using Foogod's transliteration, because it's easier to see patterns than with WooText. Also alphabet is folded, i.e. lowercase and uppercase letters are equal.

Interesting thing I just found out is that & has quite interesting pattern surrounding it:

* A known fact is that & appears 8 times, only on it's own.

* It is always followed by word xjsykd, sometimes in variations (xjsykdwpj and xjsykdwpjwlja). The word xjsykd itself is mentioned only twice more, and only in first paragraph.

* 7 out of 8 times it is preceded by the word ending with wxj (i.e. if W/w theories are correct, with a xj suffix).
Those words are luoyojwxj, ljaxjawxj, dpjwxj, dpywxj and ywluoyojwxj. Also note that 1st, 2nd and 4th word appear before & quite a few times in third paragraph (it looks like some kind of enumeration to me), with or without wxj suffix, and in different arrangements.
<pre>
[...]luoypj dpywxj
ljaxjawxj & xjsykd.[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxja dpywxj &
xjsykdwpj[...]

[...]luoypjwxj ljaxjawxj &[...]
</pre>
* luoypjwxj appears only 5 times a few fords away from &. It does not appear out of &'s context. Three times it's directly preceeding & (once as ywluoypjwxj).
* ljaxjawxj appears 3 times (once without wxj suffix) in &'s context. It does appear twice out of &'s context (as ljaxja-ya ljaxja-pua-sd). Two times it's directly preceeding &.
* dpjwxj appears once and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context. (xdpj and xdpjwxj do appear, but are diferent words)
* dpywxj appears twice and only preceding &. It does not appear out of &'s context, but other variations of dpy do.

''(I was sure, & was just "seeoahtlahmakaskay". Does it make sense with this, what you noticed? What you think, you proved that I was thinking correct, or I was going in wrong way, or we can't tell?

===Just pointing out a hint (RFC)===

So, while browsing the comment pages for the original comic, I found something quite interesting.

@Viktor:
I have got two questions which I think do not reveal to much and do not make it any easier to solve it:
1. Is the cipher deterministic?
I mean that for example using random anagrams of words makes the cipher nondeterministic since
you can not decide whether “amry” is “army” or “mary” and then even if you know the password/key
there would exist several possible plaintext. On the other hand deterministic cipher is for
example columnar transposition or monoalphabetic substitution, when if you know password then
there is just one correct plaintext.

The answer was simple:

@Novil:
Contrary to your assumption, this piece of information would reveal *very much*.

The other question was poorly worded, and not worthy of neither the useful answer (which it didn't get) nor the bytes of this wiki.

I was thinking for a bit, but came to no conclusion. Anagraming the words might make decoding harder, but only if it was somewhere in the middle of the whole algorithm.

If it was among the first algorithms preformed on the original text, it will be as simple as solving regular anagrams. If it was somewhere at the end, searching for anagrams on the transliteration should do the trick.

Note that some algorithms that don't take letter position into account can be preformed both before and after the anagramming for same results such as letter substitution, rotation, polyalphabet substitution(i.e. letters->glyphs)

Also note that anagraming can be both deterministic (such as sort all letters in a word alphabeticaly, stargate->aaegrstt) and nondeterministic (stargate->regattas or treat-gas or any other combination of those 8 letters)

=== Not English nor German ===

This theory has been pretty much disproved by Novil's comment a few hours later, even Novil himself corrected me. But I'll just leave this here anyway

My decryption technique is more focused on the hints. I tried to reach for hidden meanings in them, and this is the theory I came up with:

'''Book of Woo is written in another language'''

Novil wrote it in either DE or EN but the letters and words are not 1-to-1 with the final text, even when other ciphering algorithms are applied. In other words, '''the text was translated to another language'''. This could be some existing language (let's call it "Woo's secret language"), or maybe some nonexistent "raccoonish". The latter would be a hard thing to decode, so I presume the former is true. Since Novil translated it, the original language is lost in translation, so it doesn't matter. Even if it's written in DE it can be decoded to EN without knowledge of former language, and viceversa.

''(nopenopenope... Hmmm... It would make decryption book of woo impossible. Because in this situation of secret Woo language any "word" in book of woo can mean anything Novi want. Novi said decryption is hard but possible if I remember it well. So this theory is wrong, or we don't believe her... And even if this theory is right, following it will not help us, because we can't do anything with text if it's right. So believe it and surrender the decryption, or forget this theory and still work. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

====Proofs====

Proof number one:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

What was possibly meant was:

<blockquote>"I wrote the story for “The Book of Woo” in English or German or both, '''it doesn't matter''', [...]" - Novil, somewhen</blockquote>

----

Proof number two:
<blockquote>
The following word appears in the plain text: 
ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
</blockquote>

How can both words appear in plain text? My conclusion is that the hint is written in DE and EN because writing it in "Woo's secret language" might reveal the language and give a bigger hint than Novil wanted.

----

Novil added the following clarification a few hours after the blog post was posted:

<blockquote>
That means if the plain text is in English, the word is “Potbelly Hill”, if the plain text is in German, the word is “Bauchigen Hügel”, if the plain text is a mixture of English and German, the word is “Potbelly Hill” or “Bauchigen Hügel”.
</blockquote>

== Ratfox ==

First, Potbelly Hill is an old archaeological site in Turkey: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe Entry in Wikipedia]
It has many reliefs of animals. I'm not sure it's "quite easy" to determine on which page it is, but my bet is for the second one. I suppose Potbelly Hill is a sanctuary created by Seeoahtlahmakaskay where she teaches to raccoons. On the other hand, considering the destruction on the last page, it might be where is is mentioned that the remains of the sanctuary is now called Potbelly Hill.

I have followed the supposition that '''w''' is a separator of some kind, and the theory has legs. To begin with, it is neither at the end or at the begin of a word, and most importantly, ''the subwords found between '''w''' characters can most of the time be found as standalone words''. It seems that '''w''' can be used to add suffixes or prefixes to a word:

*Example of prefix: '''y + w + luoypj = ywluoypj'''
*Examples of suffixes: '''luoypj + w + xj = luoypjwxj, ljaxja + w + pua + w + sd = ljaxjawpuawsd'''
*Example of both: '''y + w + luoypj + w + xj = ywluoypjwxj'''

As noted by StarGateTABC, the '''&''' character is always followed by '''xjsykd''', with possibly one or two '''w'''-suffixes. It is also most often preceded by a word ending with the '''wxj''' suffix.

As noted by Foogod, there seems to be three types of characters:

*Group 1: '''fgklopsx'''
*Group 2: '''djquy'''
*Special characters: '''wa'''

One thing of importance is that you never have two letters of the groups in a row. A letter of the group 1 is ''always'' followed by a letter of the group 2. One letter of the group 2 can be followed by any letter, except another one of the group 2. Words (or subwords after separation by '''w''') can start by any letter except '''w''', but cannot end by a letter of group 1, or '''w'''.

I want to mention that Foogod's table resulting from combinations of one letter of the group 1 and one letter of the group 2, or one letter of the group 2 alone, looks very familiar to people who studied Japanese. Japanese has two syllabic alphabets where each syllable is either one vowel, or one consonant plus one vowel. This would imply the group 1 is the group of consonants, and the group 2 is the group of vowels. This works rather well considering group 2 contains 5 letters. There is also an additional character in the Japanese alphabets for ending a syllable with an n or m sound. The correspondence of that special character with '''a''' is not perfect since there are words starting with '''a''', instead of always having '''a''' following a vowel.

Now, it is a bit ungainly to write German or English with a syllabic alphabet, but possible. So maybe the original text was rewritten to work with a syllabic alphabet, and then rewritten with the group 1-group 2 letters.

''(Oh wowowow i like this theorie, lets thing about it a little more. [[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 21:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC))''

== straycat ==

=== Is the plainttext a lipogram? ===

Considering the reduced alphabet, it might be, that the plaintext is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram lipogram], i.e. a text written without one or more characters.

On a similar note, the nearly linear [[Analytical_Results/Letter_Frequency|letter frequency]] may be caused by writing the plaintext in some restricted way. Maybe Novil even tuned the plaintext to create a letter frequency that matches neither German nor English. This would reduce the usefulness of analytical methods a bit. <code>:)</code>

== nneonneo ==

=== A change of alphabet ===

I think it's about time we moved away from a glyph-based alphabet and towards a more logically oriented one, to make the next stage(s) easier to reason about. Based on observations made by Foogod and Phlosioneer, I propose the following breakdown of the glyph alphabet:

* Call jdyqu "vowels"
* Call olpkgfxs "hard consonants"
* Call a and w "soft consonants"

Along with this, I propose a new mapping that makes the relationship between the groups very obvious, namely a transliteration that converts "vowels" to English vowels, "hard consonants" to English consonants, and the other characters to something else (here, I will use "'" for 'w' based on observations that it looks like a word boundary marker, and "n" for 'a' simply based on the fact that it can go next to either vowels or consonants relatively easily).

Here's the mapping table from the folded glyph-based transliteration to this more abstracted alphabet:

adfgjklopqsuwxy
=>
negwacrltudi'so

and a text sample:

rilota dota'ta nada o'na: rilota dota'ta wiga sige'gin rola. len'te
dota ruta'te ine'ta'ci o & sadoce. wonsi nense letu rago sana'te
ine'ta ison'tin'ta gin rola'ta guwo o'gin rola. gin rola'ta wigo

wele wonsi wele'de towo'te ine dota'ta tugan o'gon'sa dita'on
segete. wele sine'on rine

It reads a lot more clearly, and it's a whole lot easier to remember English-like words than to have to carry around a word like "sypjwpj". Plus it has the benefit of making it look like it's written in an actual foreign language (though don't forget that it's encrypted text!).

Do note that the mapping is not meant to symbolize any kind of actual connection with vowels, consonants, sounds, or the like. It is a notational convenience that makes reasoning easier, and makes the properties of the letters stand out more clearly to simplify higher-order analysis.

The full transliteration can be found here: [[Transliterations#nneonneo]]

''(Very good, just one addition: I think that instead of apostrophe, the symbol for w should be a dash "-" because its clearer to see in normal text ''(dota'ta vs dota-ta)''.

=== Tokenization ===

By analyzing the character sequences, I've derived a ''tokenization'' of the text using the regex pattern ([cdglrstwn]?[aeiou]n?) (a consonant or "n", followed by a vowel, followed by another optional "n"). This tokenization perfectly breaks each word into constituent parts.

Here's what the tokenized text looks like:

ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta na_da o'na: ri_lo_ta do_ta'ta wi_ga si_ge'gin ro_la. len'te
do_ta ru_ta'te i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce. won_si nen_se le_tu ra_go sa_na'te

Notably, the tokenization results in just 61 unique tokens, a number of which only occur at the start of words. These tokens may be the primitive units for the next stage of decryption, which may be some kind of transposition or code replacement.

=== Breaking the text into smaller words ===
"Words" (divided by spaces) can be further divided into smaller words based on the position of the "'" characters ('w' glyphs). For this section I will refer to the words-divided-by-spaces as word groups.

Initially I assigned these prefix/suffix status based on their position in the word. Later, I realized that this is an irrelevant distinction.

There are two kinds of words, simply put: one-token words ("short" words) and two- and three-token words ("long" words). Words are agglomerated into groups according to the following rules:

* A short word with a single glyph becomes the start of the next word group. The only one-token words are "i" and "o" ("u" and "y" glyphs).
* All other short words are appended to the previous word group, up to a maximum of three words in a single group. After that, further short words (if there are several consecutively) are simply placed into a new word group.
* A word group can contain at most one long word.

That's it! All "suffix/prefix" behaviour stems from these two rules.

Illustrative example: this phrase in the second line of the first page:

i_ne'ta'ci o & sa_do_ce

contains the long word i_ne, followed by two short words "ta" and "ci". Another short word, "o" follows, but since it cannot be placed in a word group with the next word (since it's a & symbol), it stands alone. This is the only instance where the "o" word stands alone.

Illustrative example: this phrase near the end of the third page:

ge_de'ci o'si_ne'gan tin'de'sa

contains several short words interspersed with long words. The short word "ci" is appended to the "ge_de" group. The short word "o" that follows is placed at the start of a new word group with "si_ne". "gan" is suffixed to si_ne, which makes a group of three words. Therefore, the next short word, tin, is placed in a new word group, and two more short words are added to it.

----

There are four exceptions to these rules in the text, out of 247 short words. These may be errors in transcription, modifications made for artistic purposes, or they may represent a problem with the rules I've outlined above.

The exceptions are (line numbers refer to the whole transliterated text):

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin / wen'de sa_do_ce'tin
page 1 line 22: ru_ta tin'de'sa
page 4 line 84: won_si na'gan'te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge len'ta'tin

Rendered according to the rules, these would be

page 1 lines 14~15: o'ne_ran we_le i_ne'tin'wen / de sa_do_ce'tin (might be broken due to a line length limitation)
page 1 line 22: ru_ta'tin'de sa
page 4 line 84: won_si'na'gan te
page 4 line 85: tu_ge'len'ta tin

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

=== Book Cipher Hypothesis ===

One observation that is commonly made about the "words" above is that they are all very short - 1, 2 or 3 tokens in length. No direct mapping from tokens to syllables or letters would seem to make sense here.

But what if the words are actually indices into a list of words? This would enable the words to be compactly represented (essentially just as encoded numbers), as they seem to be here.

The big open questions are (1) what wordlist/book was used, and (2) how do letters map to numbers. I can offer a *possible* answer to the first question: the hint "10000" on the third page may indicate that the list in question is a list of the top 10,000 words in either English or German. If this is the case, there are only a few public wordlists that would qualify.

The second question is rather thornier, given that there doesn't seem to be any "natural" way to order the characters.

This seems like a far-fetched theory, and I'm perfectly willing to admit it as such. However, there is some compelling evidence for it.

First, observe that each token consists of an optional consonant, vowel, and optional trailing "n". There are ten possible consonants: c,d,g,l,n,r,s,t,w and none. Similarly, there are ten possible combinations for vowel+n (namely a,e,i,o,u,an,en,in,on,un). So, there are precisely 100 possible tokens, and so there are precisely 10000 possible two-token words. The three-token words, in this case, are likely those words which can't be coded in the wordlist, and for which we'd have to find some alternate coding (e.g. an extended wordlist, or a syllabic breakdown). However, there are only 7 three-token words, so maybe they can just be guessed from context.

Second, note that so far we haven't used the "10000" 'clue' on the third page. This would be one way to explain that clue.

Third, if one looks at the distribution of words in a short story (like the Book of Genesis), a significant fraction of the words are from the top 100 words, though some of the most frequent words are also words from further down in the list (usually things like the main subject of the story). This correlates well with the observed word frequency in the BoW text.

Now, here's some cons of this particular hypothesis:

* It requires an ordering of the characters, which we don't have (and which would be irritatingly hard to guess)
* It requires knowing or guessing the wordlist, which is not easy
* I haven't been able to decode the text using this theory yet, though I haven't spent much time on it. This is mainly due to being stymied by the first two points.

Anyway, there's the hypothesis. Please comment below; I want to hear what you think of this idea.

:I think that guessing the list and ordering the characters is a little bit too much to do. ordering both sets would give 10!*10!=13168189440000 combinations (which in turn would multiply with every possible top 10.000 words list). Even if we were to assume "Benford's Law" (number distribution) the possibilities are still far too many. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 05:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yes, indeed guessing the list with brute-force generates far, far too many possibilities. Benford's law only really holds for large samples; for our tiny sample the statistical variance would generate too many possible alternatives.
::I'm thinking more along the lines of Stargatetabc's idea: find some sort of hint or clue that points us toward some kind of ordering. Of course such a thing could be a total wild goose chase if this theory doesn't pan out, but the statistical evidence is rather compelling. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] [[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]] 02:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:In one book I read, hero founds two part code: one part is the message it self, and the other is the key. But they are merged by some algorithm I can't remember. Maybe it's the case here as well? Maybe a paragraph that's different from the others? Or maybe just some sentences? And that key is the ordering of letters?
::Could the "10,000" on page 3 be related? That's the only thing on the document in a form we recognize (though I'll admit it could just be because encoding numbers would've been too much). - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

==Shain==
I think it might be possible that there is some kind of "terminator" character which simply ignores the last vowel. in nneonneo's transliteration the ' might be the vowel killer? but i don't know what to make of it if it is "n'". "dota'ta" could be "dotta" which atleast looks nice. or it is the other way around terminating the following consonant?

Also it might be that there is some kind of gloryfication character (the &) to mark the different gods of the story?

These are just basic ideas and i am in no way experienced in deciphering texts.

I would like to hear what you think about these two ideas, does this make sense?

== curiousgeorgie ==

===Alternative: w as a doubler===

Building off Ratfox's idea (and also nneonneo's apostrophe), if one of the encipherment methods was a syllabic re-writing of German or English, it could be that '''w''' is like the　っ (small tsu) character in Japanese, which normally indicates a glottal stop, or if you write it in English, a double consonant. Like '''w''', it normally appears between syllables and makes no sense at the beginning of a word (or the end, most of the time).

Here, '''w''' is followed mainly by class 1 glyphs, and occasionally by class 2 glyphs. If the class 1 glyphs represent consonants or consonant clusters (though this would drastically decrease the number of possible consonant sounds represented by this alphabet unless '''a''' somehow fixes that), and the class 2 glyphs represent vowels, then it kind of makes sense that '''w''' doubles the character following it. '''w''' is followed by basically every glyph except two of the class 2 "vowels" (i.e., there is no '''wj''' or '''wq'''). As far as I and the German orthography wikipedia page can tell, English and German are likely to have "ee", "oo", and even "aa", but "ii" and "uu" (except in vacuum) are pretty much nonexistent, so 3/5 "vowels" seems to fit.

'''Shain:''' if the vowels are doubled it should be clear that if the text is german there would have to be some steps to clean it up beforehand. normally longer vowels in german are made by adding and "h" after a vowel (exception is "i" where it is most of the time "ie"). so this would have to be fixed beforehand. but considering word lenght double fits better than terminate.

== Jones ==

===w is not a word separator===

This is just based on word frequency analysis. Assuming space is a word separator, but w is not, there are 184 unique words out of 368. Of these 114 appear only once. This is very similar to a number of short fairy tales I did the same analysis on. For example, The Princess and The Pea by Hans Christian Anderson has 385 words, 180 unique words, and 121 of them only appear once. However, if you assume that both space and w are word separators, then you get 572 words, but only 86 unique words, and a measly 17 words that only appear once.

I also did this analysis on a slightly longer fairy tale, to see if the fraction of unrepeated words would go down. It did, but it was still above 50% of the unique words.
:I have done a similar analysis, but with the book of Genesis (seemed appropriate since the BoW story seems to be a creation myth). However, my results are very different.
:The Book of Woo with ' as a word separator (as in my transcription) has 564 words, 85 unique words, and 17 that appear once.
:The section of the Book of Genesis that I used has 573 words, 120 unique words, and 46 words that appear only once.
:The Bible results are rather closer to the BoW results. Some of this may be explained as the Bible using far fewer synonyms, preferring to use repetition to reinforce the story (e.g. God always "commands" that something be so, not "wishes", not "wills").
:It's entirely possible that the true answer lies in between. For example, the ' character may be a pseudo-word separator like "-", enabling the construction of conjugated forms and compound words from individual parts.

===Folded Alphabet===

In looking at foogod's transliteration the U modifies the case, upper to lower and vice-versa. If one were break the text into two different bodies of text on the U separator does that help? I'm thinking Baconian Cipher where the upper and lower are the English and German portions of the message or something of the sort.

So here's the summary. I broke the text into two pieces, the uppercase half and lowercase half, then combined them with the uppercase portion first then the lowercase portion. I removed the line breaks and the character U. This leaves us with 278 words with 197 unique words with 156 appearing once. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 15:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

:I think this is highly possible. the problem now is which one is the german and which one the english part? having the same words appear in both parts (upper/lower) would be a great hint at their meaning. even if there are some words in german and english that are the same, the possibility of those being names is higher. i am also thinking the [[Potbelly Hill Hint]] could help further here. --[[User:Shain|Shain]] ([[User talk:Shain|talk]]) 07:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I'm struggling with what to do with the U keep it in one subset or the other or discard it. The other thought that comes to mind is that one subset is a key for the other, the issue with that is it severely reduces the word count in the final text. [[User:Jmorlock|Jmorlock]] ([[User talk:Jmorlock|talk]]) 16:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a thought how do words from the two languages compare across the U boundary? [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/true_friends1.htm]

:While the idea is good to think about, the fact that identical glyph patterns appear on either side of the U boundary (and even half-and-half across it) is how Satsuoni discovered the folding function of U/u in the first place. The possibility that there could still be some difference between the sets was considered but deemed unlikely. - [[User:Curiousgeorgie|Curiousgeorgie]] ([[User talk:Curiousgeorgie|talk]]) 19:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

=== Hi all ===
Hi, I'm happy to join to this great group of book of woo fans or workers or decryptioners or what you want to talk about yourself.

My theories are usually repetition on what you said all. I mostly base on your work, but I will try to join to the discussion, not with something new, but with my voice for or against some of your theories.

I will write it all but not right now, it will take me a while. This, and [[Work_Organization]] page will take a few days to end, so if you are interested, wait a while, and probably you will find something new here.

I highly recommend discussion in "working theories" page. I believe it always help, and its much more organized than in comments page under Sandra and Woo comics. Especially i ASK you for comments, discussion, etc under my theories paragraph. It makes me thing much better if I can throw my theories into anyone any he somehow respond. Or if someone throw theories into me, dump or good, no matter. Have you seen "House M.D." serial? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. So please, talk, discuss, oppose or agree with me, maybe it will make me somehow useful here.

Ah, and one more thing. If you got too much time, please, translate my scribble from this "I'm not native English speaker" into true, easy to understand English if possible ;-)

=== Upper/Lower case characters are the same one ===
When I saw [[Foogod]] transliteration, I was wondering, if this is just for esier word processing or upper/lower case letters are really the same. Right now I believe '''upper/lower letters are the same'''.

The reason I'm thinking this way right now, is because every letter can be found in at least one pair of word and mirror word like lUOYPJ and Luoypj (lUOYPJ]] and Luoypj]]). I think, it's impossible, or really hard to get (and i don't believe Novi was working so hard just too fool us with this) this result with two different "alphabets", one with lower case letters and second with upper case letters.

If you see how it could be done by chance or with some easy Novi work, please tell here, it may be important.

Unless someone will show how could it be possible I will work with text as with 15 "letters" (of course combination of two or more glyphs can give us one letter in English/German) and highly recommend this for everyone working on the text. Unless you are looking for answer "when" woo is using upper case letters, when Lower case letters (that's how you found u and U, GREAT job, wow!) you can use "all to low" commend on the [[Foogod]] transliteration.

& is of course something else, special, there will be something about this in another theory.

=== Upper/Lower marking something ===

I can't think of an easy way to get mirror words if the "upper" and "lower" alphabets are unrelated, but that doesn't mean the distinction in meaningless. For example, maybe "upper" is used when the deity is speaking, and mixed when the deity is being quoted. Or maybe switching alphabets indicates emphasis, or a change in the part of speech (e.g., using a word as a verb instead of as a noun).

=== Comment ===
Hi. Again - comment please! In this paragraph or just under theory. Maybe better under theory, we will know what we are referring too.[[User:Hiperon|Hiperon]] ([[User talk:Hiperon|talk]]) 20:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

=== Comment ===
Hello.

I found the following information in "what we know:"

----

''''First Decryption Step Confirmed

On August 2, 2012, Satsuoni posted the following in the comment thread:

By looking at the distribution of character pairs I have discovered that the alphabet can be cleanly separated into two parts, with “u” and “e” serving as separators (incidentally, they look like on and off switch) between two sets. Sets seem identical in function. For example, “z” in one subset is equivalent to “w” in other. The distribution of separators doesn’t suggest that they are spaces of any kind [...]

..and then a bit later posted a new transliteration with the appropriate characters replaced to reduce the 31-character alphabet to a 15-character one.

On August 7, 2012, Novil posted a comment in which he confirmed that Satsuoni's analysis was, in fact, correct.
Potbelly Hill Hint

On July 21, 2014, Novil posted the following in an article in the news section of the website:

I have decided to give you a little hint. The following word appears in the plain text:

ENGLISH: Potbelly Hill | GERMAN: Bauchigen Hügel
It should be quite easy to determine on which page. I hope this will generate some debate about the supposed content of that page.''''

----

These two facts -- that there are alternating parallel alphabets, and that the plaintext is apparently English AND German -- suggest to me that the alternations are shifts from one plaintext language to another.

For example, "Then the raccoon goddess ' sprach zu den Waschbären, hier lassen Sie Ihren Sprösslingen & find this gift: the use of prehensile paws ..." (I made that up, based on prior speculation in the pictures section, just to demonstrate the concept).

This says nothing about the cipher proper, but it does suggest why the segments seem to alternate.

It would seem to me also that the "Potbelly hill" clue might lead to a cryptographic "window."

Another such "window" would be the name of the Raccoon Goddess -- "Seeoahlahmakaskay" or "Coalmask" -- if that sequence could be found in the text.

Finally, a last point that seems suggestive: Knowing that Novil has consistently used "Seeoahlahmakaskay" in place of "Coalmask" suggests that the Woo Text may have been phonetically spelled out prior to encryption, as with "Seeoahlahmakaskay / Coalmask."

Woo would perhaps become Wahoouoou or some such.

Just some thoughts. Hope they help. [[User:Og the Odious|Og the Odious]]

=== Polynesian Languages ===

Hey all,

my two cents: the properties of the currently discussed transliterations reminded me of the properties of the polynesian language family (like hawaiian, samoan or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapa_Nui_language RapaNui]).
* all words seem to end on one of five characters which people here seem to identify with vocals
* 14-15 different characters in total
* consonants and vocals are alternating
* the w/W separator could be identified with the ' (glottal stop character) that most of these languages have

But so far no luck with a translation :-)

also... potbelly hill = volcano? (bottom of first page?)

=== Reasons behind the doubling of the character set? ===

I must say that I did not understand how exactly the discovery of the redundancy in the character set was performed. Can anybody explain this in a more comprehensive way at the respective location in this wiki? What was from Novil's perspective the reason to implement this? It seems this is the first officially confirmed step of decoding. Do you think it was supposed to be discovered at this point (i.e. the beginning) and provide some hint at the content or else become apparent much later?

== Jonadab ==

=== Linear Frequency Distribution ===
Looking at the frequency distribution of the tokens, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cipher can produce that sort of distribution?

So far, I've found one possible answer...

=== Polybius Square plus Multi-Option Substitution ===
My current working theory is that something resembling a Polybius square (with probably about nine distinct coordinate possibilities) was used to considerably reduce the number of distinct characters; and then it was subsequently (re)expanded by using a substitution cipher that has multiple possibilities for each coordinate -- more possibilities for some than for others.

Here is a Perl script that implements such a cipher, and while I still need to tweak some of the details, I'm getting a frequency distribution that largely resembles the one we see from the Book of Woo cipher.

There are a total of 85 words (19 short and 66 long). The long words use 52 unique tokens, which makes for over 140,000 possible three-token words. Therefore, it is very possible that these 85 words are, by themselves, complete words. Furthermore, these word counts are very consistent with a sample English text I looked at, once the most common words were removed. I don't know much about German, unfortunately, so I can't be much use there.

Analytical Results/Letter Frequency

2018-03-02T21:11:34Z

Narga: Created page with "The following charts represent a letter frequency analysis of the Book of Woo ciphertext: == Compared with English == File:lfreq-woo-alice_en.png == Compared with German..."

The following charts represent a letter frequency analysis of the Book of Woo ciphertext:

== Compared with English ==
[[File:lfreq-woo-alice_en.png]]

== Compared with German ==
[[File:lfreq-woo-alice_de.png]]

== Notes ==

While it may not be entirely obvious from the above charts, it is important to note that in both the English and German texts, the letter frequencies show a distinctly curved (approximately exponential) drop-off, whereas the BoW letter frequencies follow a nearly linear trend. This suggests that there is not likely to be a one-to-one mapping between BoW glyphs and the letters of either English or German.

Narga: /* Text for Cypher Replacement Tool */

'''Transliteration''' is the act of rewriting a given text using letters from a different alphabet. As the ''Book of Woo'' is written in an apparently previously unknown alphabet, it can be difficult to manipulate, analyze, and quote it using computers and the Internet. As such, one of the first steps typically employed is to transliterate the text into another alphabet which can be more easily used. This page contains various transliterations which have been performed and posted for others to use.

The following transliterations have been updated to include all corrections which have been discovered to date (both transcription errors and errors in the original document which have been confirmed by Novil). They have also been reformatted here to better match the layout of the original.

(Some older transliterations without these corrections have also been posted for historical reference in the [[Old Transliterations]] page.)

== Ryan (corrected) ==

Ryan was the first user to transcribe the original text and post the result for others to use. As such, his has become something of a de-facto standard transliteration amongst those discussing the text online. The following version has been updated (by Foogod) to include the corrections noted by Novil and to correspond better with the later Satsuoni-Novil transcription.

== Satsuoni-Novil ==

Satsuoni posted an updated version based on Ryan's original transliteration, but accounting for the character-set overlap which had been observed, and substituting equivalent characters to reduce the effective character set to 16 symbols instead of 31. A corrected version of this transliteration (using the same character mapping as Satsuoni, but fixing several confirmed errors) was later posted by Novil. The following is Novil's corrected version of Satsuoni's mapping of the text.

If you want to use the Satsuoni-Novil version with Jamie’s [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/misc/cypher-replacement-tool.exe "Cypher Replacement Tool"], you can use this version:

== Foogod ==

[[User:Foogod|Foogod]] has proposed an alternate character mapping, based on Ryan's and Satsuoni's, but designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni character duplication is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

=== Font ===

Note that an Open Type Font [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/misc/WooGlyphSans.otf WooGlyphSans] of the ''Book of Woo'' alphabet is also available using this mapping, and is embedded in some articles of this wiki.

== nneonneo ==

[[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] proposes another transliteration, this time based on logical properties of the characters and not the glyphs they represent.

Essentially, glyphs are grouped into three classes, "consonants", "vowels" and "other" based on their observed relationships. These groups are translated logically into equivalent English letters. The class names aren't meant to actually imply a relationship to the analogous English letters; they are merely convenient notation to refer to the classes.

The essential properties of this transliteration are as follows:

* The glyph classes can be easily distinguished by eye, because they are quite simply vowels/non-vowels.
* The text itself can now be "pronounced" because of the alternation property of these glyph classes. This aids substantially in word recall as the text is now vaguely (but not too closely) English-like.
* The mapping is intended as a "logical" mapping rather than a "physical" mapping; consequently the characters chosen deliberately bear little to no resemblance to the glyphs
* The mapping partially preserves the frequency distribution: the more common glyphs were mapped into more common English letters where possible.
* The mapping is still lossless because of Satsuoni's observation, though reversing the mapping is somewhat more challenging.

Here's the mapping:

{| border=1

== kana-based token transcription ==

Given the regularities that have been noticed in the ''phonotactics'' (as it were) of how the glyphs are used, with ''consonants'' being consistently followed by ''vowels'', it seemed sensible to me to produce a transcription that takes this into account, representing ''tokens'' (i.e., nneonneo syllables) as one character each. In order to avoid confusing people by overloading the Latin letters yet again, I chose the kana, because they represent syllables in Japanese, and because I am familiar with them.

When choosing individual kana for each token, I chose them so that the results would roughly correspond with the nneonneo transcription when pronounced. I also tried to avoid excessive visual similarity between characters (which would be confusing for people who do not know kana) by taking some of the symbols from katakana and others from hiragana, in order to avoid pairs that would be too similar in appearance. In a couple of cases, I allowed this desire to avoid visual similarity to trump the nneonneo pronunciation correspondance.

Working from the folded text, I assigned the foogod w (nneonneo ') to the sokuon (small tsu), which is a geminator in Japanese, on the theory (mentioned by someone else elsewhere) that it may even be used that way, although this has not really been explored or confirmed yet; and I assigned the other token that can stand on its own (foogod a, nneonneo n) to the syllabic nasal in those situations.

The remainder were chosen so that their standard romanization corresponds to nneonneo, with two exceptions: nneonneo tu (foogod pq) would have been too visually similar to either ' (w) or du (sq), so I grabbed hiragana u, which was available (because nneonneo u is represented by the katakana one); and wu (foogod gq) cannot be written in a single kana character, so I chose a wa character to stand in.

I treated c as k in all cases rather than s. Where two characters would otherwise have differed only by dakuten (voicing), such as with ta/da, or not at all, such as ra/la, I took one from katakana and the other from hiragana.

Here, then, is a draft kana transcription of the text:

Hopefully this transcription may prove useful. If indeed these "tokens" are the basic unit of information for the next layer of decryption, having them represented by just one character each may be helpful. (If nothing else, doing frequency analysis on this transcription shows that we are clearly not yet at the final stage of decryption, since the frequency of individual tokens/kana, except for the four most common ones, clearly falls off linearly.)

I believe there are 46 kana, if I counted correctly (plus &, which I left as ＆ for now). [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]] ([[User talk:Jonadab|talk]]) 14:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

== token transliteration table ==
Here is a table showing all the different transliterations, in both alphabets, for each token:

== Syllabary ==
I wondered whether [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]]'s "tokenization" was a complete syllabary or not, so I made a table! XD

The "consonants" that are on their own on the left column do not occur independently, hence they do not have an associated frequency. They are there as a headers for the rest of each row.

Transliterations

2018-03-02T15:37:27Z

Narga: /* Text */

'''Transliteration''' is the act of rewriting a given text using letters from a different alphabet. As the ''Book of Woo'' is written in an apparently previously unknown alphabet, it can be difficult to manipulate, analyze, and quote it using computers and the Internet. As such, one of the first steps typically employed is to transliterate the text into another alphabet which can be more easily used. This page contains various transliterations which have been performed and posted for others to use.

The following transliterations have been updated to include all corrections which have been discovered to date (both transcription errors and errors in the original document which have been confirmed by Novil). They have also been reformatted here to better match the layout of the original.

(Some older transliterations without these corrections have also been posted for historical reference in the [[Old Transliterations]] page.)

== Ryan (corrected) ==

Ryan was the first user to transcribe the original text and post the result for others to use. As such, his has become something of a de-facto standard transliteration amongst those discussing the text online. The following version has been updated (by Foogod) to include the corrections noted by Novil and to correspond better with the later Satsuoni-Novil transcription.

== Satsuoni-Novil ==

Satsuoni posted an updated version based on Ryan's original transliteration, but accounting for the character-set overlap which had been observed, and substituting equivalent characters to reduce the effective character set to 16 symbols instead of 31. A corrected version of this transliteration (using the same character mapping as Satsuoni, but fixing several confirmed errors) was later posted by Novil. The following is Novil's corrected version of Satsuoni's mapping of the text.

== Foogod ==

[[User:Foogod|Foogod]] has proposed an alternate character mapping, based on Ryan's and Satsuoni's, but designed to have the following features:

* One-to-one mapping between glyphs and letters (no loss of information)
* All word characters (except "&") are ASCII letters (works better with text processing tools and human eyes)
* The Satsuoni character duplication is represented by upper/lower-case letters (so Satsuoni-folding can be achieved by simply converting to all-upper or all-lower case).

=== Font ===

Note that an Open Type Font [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/misc/WooGlyphSans.otf WooGlyphSans] of the ''Book of Woo'' alphabet is also available using this mapping, and is embedded in some articles of this wiki.

== nneonneo ==

[[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] proposes another transliteration, this time based on logical properties of the characters and not the glyphs they represent.

Essentially, glyphs are grouped into three classes, "consonants", "vowels" and "other" based on their observed relationships. These groups are translated logically into equivalent English letters. The class names aren't meant to actually imply a relationship to the analogous English letters; they are merely convenient notation to refer to the classes.

The essential properties of this transliteration are as follows:

* The glyph classes can be easily distinguished by eye, because they are quite simply vowels/non-vowels.
* The text itself can now be "pronounced" because of the alternation property of these glyph classes. This aids substantially in word recall as the text is now vaguely (but not too closely) English-like.
* The mapping is intended as a "logical" mapping rather than a "physical" mapping; consequently the characters chosen deliberately bear little to no resemblance to the glyphs
* The mapping partially preserves the frequency distribution: the more common glyphs were mapped into more common English letters where possible.
* The mapping is still lossless because of Satsuoni's observation, though reversing the mapping is somewhat more challenging.

Here's the mapping:

== kana-based token transcription ==

Given the regularities that have been noticed in the ''phonotactics'' (as it were) of how the glyphs are used, with ''consonants'' being consistently followed by ''vowels'', it seemed sensible to me to produce a transcription that takes this into account, representing ''tokens'' (i.e., nneonneo syllables) as one character each. In order to avoid confusing people by overloading the Latin letters yet again, I chose the kana, because they represent syllables in Japanese, and because I am familiar with them.

When choosing individual kana for each token, I chose them so that the results would roughly correspond with the nneonneo transcription when pronounced. I also tried to avoid excessive visual similarity between characters (which would be confusing for people who do not know kana) by taking some of the symbols from katakana and others from hiragana, in order to avoid pairs that would be too similar in appearance. In a couple of cases, I allowed this desire to avoid visual similarity to trump the nneonneo pronunciation correspondance.

Working from the folded text, I assigned the foogod w (nneonneo ') to the sokuon (small tsu), which is a geminator in Japanese, on the theory (mentioned by someone else elsewhere) that it may even be used that way, although this has not really been explored or confirmed yet; and I assigned the other token that can stand on its own (foogod a, nneonneo n) to the syllabic nasal in those situations.

The remainder were chosen so that their standard romanization corresponds to nneonneo, with two exceptions: nneonneo tu (foogod pq) would have been too visually similar to either ' (w) or du (sq), so I grabbed hiragana u, which was available (because nneonneo u is represented by the katakana one); and wu (foogod gq) cannot be written in a single kana character, so I chose a wa character to stand in.

I treated c as k in all cases rather than s. Where two characters would otherwise have differed only by dakuten (voicing), such as with ta/da, or not at all, such as ra/la, I took one from katakana and the other from hiragana.

Here, then, is a draft kana transcription of the text:

Hopefully this transcription may prove useful. If indeed these "tokens" are the basic unit of information for the next layer of decryption, having them represented by just one character each may be helpful. (If nothing else, doing frequency analysis on this transcription shows that we are clearly not yet at the final stage of decryption, since the frequency of individual tokens/kana, except for the four most common ones, clearly falls off linearly.)

I believe there are 46 kana, if I counted correctly (plus &, which I left as ＆ for now). [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]] ([[User talk:Jonadab|talk]]) 14:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

== token transliteration table ==
Here is a table showing all the different transliterations, in both alphabets, for each token:

== Syllabary ==
I wondered whether [[User:Jonadab|Jonadab]]'s "tokenization" was a complete syllabary or not, so I made a table! XD

The "consonants" that are on their own on the left column do not occur independently, hence they do not have an associated frequency. They are there as a headers for the rest of each row.
