This tool connects Modern English, Traditional Irish, and Ancient Ogham through a custom-built logic: ​The Dictionary Layer: When you type an English word, the program first checks a built-in Irish dictionary. If a match is found (like "love" becoming "grá"), it automatically translates it into the Irish language to honor the original Celtic soul of the script. ​The Vowel/Consonant Split: To maintain high accuracy, we have preserved the Traditional Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) as deep Notches (circles) sitting directly on the stem line. ​Modern Modifications: Because the original Ogham alphabet was missing certain English letters (like K, P, V, Y, Z), we modified the "line versions" of those characters. This allows the program to spell any modern name or word while keeping the vowels as the distinctive "heartbeat" of the vine. ​How to "Write" the Vine (The Rules of the Line) ​If you or a friend want to write a full sentence, Ogham follows a specific "growth" pattern. Here is how to explain it: ​The Direction of Growth: Ogham is read from the Bottom Up. Always start with the Feather Mark (^) at the base to show where the life of the sentence begins. ​The Sentence Structure (Irish Style): In English, we say "I see the dog" (Subject-Verb-Object). In Irish, the Verb usually comes first. If you want to be authentic, put the action word at the bottom of the vine. ​Spacing and Diamonds: To keep words from blurring together, use a Period (.) in the text box to trigger a Diamond Spacer. This acts like a "knot" in the wood, letting the reader know a new word is starting. ​The Finish: Always end with the Ritual Cross (+) at the top to "seal" the message and protect the words carved within.
