(March 8, 2026) Side view of the Knoc Y Doonee Rune and Ogham Stone as it originally appeared in place. This view clearly shows the ogham in 2 columns. Unfortunatly, the ogham is too fragmentary to translate from these pictures.

This rune/ogham stone was found on a small hill containing many early pre-Christian and Christian burials. A small early, one room church called a Keeill was placed in the center of this sacred space.

Unlike the drawing, the photos do not show a Y/I at the end of the top 2 sentences.

In English

  1. The Reed-boat's (Ayu) fertility-fluid starvation is being monitored

  2. The Healer's (Hu) traditional-behavior of blocking involvement is being monitored

  3. The respected-one's (Su) prodding will affect the involvement of the omens

Comment: A drought is being blamed on the crescent moon goddess Ayu who edits the divine irrigation network which directs life powers to earth. She is a life power along with the sun and storm god Hu who directly represents the divine irrigation network. Applying these life powers tends to block the motion/emotion powers of emotion magic and the dark new moon god Su who shifts/prods the fate defined by the heavenly bodies. This heavenly-body's fate produces omens. Notice the Druid Akkadian word "Helu" is the same as the name for the Greek sun god "Helios."

  1. Ku UNu AMu. A Ṭu Pu IMu AD

In English

  1. Involvement will resist the Reed-boat (Ayu). That will affect Thu's opening of emotion's instigations.

Comment: "Involvement" is the involvement of the emotion powers with the life powers which is often controversial. This text is claiming involvement inhibits the life-channel editing power of the crescent moon goddess Ayu. That in turn will affect the motion/emotion powers of the genderless deity Thu who opens-up the emotions for changing things.

  1. Divine-emotion-powers can activate Ayu. Divine-emotion-powers can reveal the Reed-boat (Ayu) ...... Su [2 words]. The life-manifestations break-through the monitoring of that.

Comment: According to this text, emotion powers from the divine realm can push the goddess Ayu to properly edit the divine irrigation network to direct the life powers to earth where they are manifested as life. These life-manifestations thus break through any inhibition from fate which may have been divined.

  1. ATu ASu WaŠu Ya'u. Šu UMu INu. AMu Ku A Se'u PaYu ATu IMu

In English

  1. Monitoring the fate-shifting will evict Yahu (Y'). Doing the same makes stormy the Moon-eye (Su). Confusion will be the result. That will inhibit the divine-birds. Monitor the emotions (instead).

Comment: The dark new moon god Su is the power associated with fate-shifting. Using divination to reveal fate freezes fate so that the life manifestation god Yahu becomes powerless as do the griffons which edit the divine irrigation network which direct the life powers to earth which trigger Yahu.
