The fractions don't quite match up between languages. The egyptian mouth with three lines (3/4) is similar to the theta and mu figure, and those values are 8 and 12, reducing to 2/3. Almost had a perfect link, though.

Not sure why they would match up between languages - although it would be cosmic :P
The values of 8 and 12 are really our interpretatiton based on letter order, they may not have had any ancient significance.

It is the hieroglyph that means "to weep." She responded:
Not quite, but perhaps you are getting a tad warmer.
Mayby Opy was suggesting that we look at other Heiroglyphic meanings.
Each symbol probably has to be looked at from different angles (logically) -- Parallax.

(This does seem to be sort of the reverse of Tachyons logic in her message - but maybe she has it a bit backwards. - or maybe this isn't right :))
