I think you're more cracked than Miguel. The best way to solve any puzzle is
by developing a clear, logical strategy to begin with. There's a component
to your translation methodology that is lacking. In order to understand
Lemnian at all, one must understand how the closely related Etruscan
language works. It is generally known that Lemnian and Etruscan are very
close languages, probably on the order of French and Spanish. Your division
of /Fukiasiale/ is completely unfounded within an Etruscan context and,
quite frankly, is annoying.
