Reference:Lego Mag-Lev

The Lego Mag-Lev was a limited run LEGO® set provided for sale by Cyan on their online store. The instruction booklet and box provided with the set feature D'ni text and numerals.

Transliteration

Box

The text on the base of the box appears as thus:

Original D'ni	votahrteeah brehehndaitahntee
Dnifont Transliteration	votahrteeah brehehndaitahntee

This, however, appears to be a mistake.

It is conjectured that the intended text is as thus:

Original D'ni	votartEa breenDAtantE
OTS Transliteration	votahrteeah breendaytahntee
English Translation	Praise the builders [lit. You praise to the builders]

The mistakes being that:

• Two 'e's (e) were used where an 'ee' (E) was intended.
• An 'ahh' (ah) was used where an 'ah' (a) was intended.
  • Hence 'votahhrteeahh' (breh) was used where 'votahrteeah' (votartEa) was intended.
• An 'eh' (eh) was used where merely 'e' (e) was intended.
  • Hence 'breh' (breh) was used where 'bre' (bre) was intended.
• A 'dh' (d) was used where 'd' (D) was intended
• The compound 'ahi' (ai) was used where 'ay' (A) was intended
  • Hence 'ehndahitahhntee' (ehndaitahntee) was used where 'endaytahntee' (enDAtantE) was intended.
