Translation Using Ballymote Letter Assignments and Druid Akkadian (Ogham Text 7)

Read right to left. Verbs are italic bold. Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration

In English

Previous Standard Translation Provided by David Stifter

‘of … son of *Nanamoguist’ 

David Stifter is claiming that regional differences in ogham exist between local island regions. For example the ogham of this example is Pictish which explains its difference from the others to form the letters to the word "son of."
