This is awesome! But it doesn't show what the insult was??

He said..... well.... it was an insult.

It says it just before the clip, it's mistimed. Traveler thieves.

It's not so much that it was mistimed, but the final two clips are the same, so I assumed audibly people could tell they were the same. I was too lazy to re-add the captions. I clarified this in the OP at the top, but nobody seems to notice it :(

We notice it. It's just we're lazy to rewind the video to see again XD. Btw nice job I don't know how you were able to get all this from variks and grimoire cards but you did a lot better than most people would. So it's understandable that you didn't want to add the caption because you already worked your a** off. But I have two questions. After all of this work did you master speaking eliksni or did you only master writing it because it can be a very hard language? And are you an archaeologist because you did great on deciphering eliksni?

Hah, thanks. I barely remember the language. I've memorised a lot of the complete lines and roughly remember what I deciphered them to, but it's been a while now and I've definitely forgotten. Just didn't keep it up. Not qualified in any way to do this sort of thing. Just obsessively dedicated when I get an idea in my head that interests me. Didn't see anyone else doing it, so I figured I might as well take the DIY approach. There were a lot of nights spent with my eyes tightly shut swapping between monitor speakers and headphones trying to decide if I was hearing a "b", "k" or "g" sound, until eventually deciding a lot of them weren't actually there. I spent some time trying to see if Bungie changed the written Eliksni since pre-release, as the grimoire cards absolutely don't match up to the letters deciphered before. My best guess is they decided that the characters wouldn't be a direct swap to English (which is true) and would just swap to phonetic characters instead, which could then be a pronounciation of some of the words I've already deciphered by ear. Theorising that and doing that is a totally different ballgame, and I just haven't bothered with it yet. Would love there to be more to it though.

I did. Awesome work btw.
