I didn't get a chance to read all of the old forum threads before they got shut down, so this might have been said before, but I was looking through my notes on what we know about the runes and searching for the post where Catherine tells the beta players about the gift.

And she does confirm that the necklace does spell out meeroos. So I start looking at possible correlations between this and other runes that we see, to see if we can get a matching repeat. This is where the lightbulb went ding and I did the old Homer Do'h.... at ROO there is a giant rune on the floor. The same rune appears on the necklace that spells meeROO... Catherine says the runes dont always read left to right, and can be mirrored. So I think we have the first confirmed translation, the rune on the floor at Roo, is a signpost, saying Roo. I think the bead to the left of the golden meeroo on the necklace says mee, which means we now have one of the letters / sounds for the arch.
I'm off to find more posts in the blogs to see if I can figure out more clues. Your thoughts?
PS, Catherine & team, could you please let us know occasionally if we are right, save us investigating too many wild goose chases.
