Qu Map Update
This week the Qu Map app has been updated to reflect a bunch of changes in our understanding. Before that, some notes on Lexicon work. Finally a headline review.
Lexicon Work
I continue to load words into the lexicon. I suspect another few weeks before this is finished. At some point I may automate entry of the "long tail" of single occurrence inbound words. But, so far, I am still learning tons about how the vocabulary words function within the grammar. Some examples follow below.
As I loaded the 134th unique root word into the lexicon, the lexicon reached the point where it can explain 50 percent of all words in the reference manuscript.
What this means is if someone learns 134 root words, along with all of their grammatical forms, they are theoretically able to read 1/2 of the words in the text as passed by history.
This is encouraging because it suggests there is hope for anyone who wants to learn to read in Paleo.
I have reached the point where I can see some strange vocabulary related patterns that are new to me. This is something that I did not expect to find during this work. It is causing me to want to keep going with manual entry, because I don't know what I don't know.
Roots
I am running down words that have been sorted by frequency. So the most frequent word still not in the lexicon is at the top of my list. I load that word into the lexicon and then scan down the list of remaining words for variant forms which share the same root.
Words which have unusual letters are the easiest to handle. So Ha or Qu or Ze or Jo or Pe in a root word will not collide with grammar related word prefixes nor suffixes.
If such a root has 3 or more letters, I can usually find and load all occurrences. Ha-Yo-Jo, the root for power, is an example of a unique 3 letter string because the Ha and Jo are not used in grammar. This is an example of a word that can be fully loaded into the lexicon all at once.
Other roots are more difficult because sometimes they land within longer words. So it is harder to know when this is a variation based on grammatical form or if this is a different word. I have learned that when in doubt I need to leave words for later, since I keep learning more details about the language system itself which is helping to solve these problems.
There are some interesting patterns in this system that I did not expect when I started this work. Let me give you some examples so you can see what is going on.
Tenses
Paleo, of course is a Semitic language. This means it carries most of its grammatical forms through the endings of words. These endings need to be learned in terms of the complete set. I have loaded enough that I probably have examples of every actual ending used in the text. I still do not yet understand what some of the forms may be doing. I expect there is uninspired dialect in some of these endings.
Sometimes the word ending impacts the English translation in subtle ways.
The most common ending is "Wa" which almost always becomes "the" in English. Another easy example is "Yo", the hand, which is usually "my" in English. The "Fe" ending is usually "his" in English, but English may want "her" or "it" depending on context. The "Ku" is usually "you" in English.
So far so good. There are around a dozen different endings, and then some times the standard endings stack up. So the possible combinations gets large.
The system also has a sense of plurals that we don't use in English. The "Ku" ending is usually "you" or "your" in English. But the ending "Ku-Ve-Ne" is a plural "your" which we do not use in standard English. "y'all" would be a rough match to the English plural for you.
Root Meaning
In this process I am chasing down the common English translation for high frequency words. For a simple example, "Yo-Du" is the paleo word for "hand." The "Yo" letter itself is a model of a hand, so this would be a candidate written name for the letter itself. This is a particularly clean example, and essentially all places in the text this root gets translated into English as "hand." "Yo-Du-Wa" is "the hand." "Yo-Du-Ku" is "your hand." "Yo-Du-Fe" is "his hand" unless English needs a different gender, like "her" or "its."
This particular word was so perfect, without any strange English, that I may eventually use it as a tutorial for the tenses themselves.
Some roots, though, get radically different meaning as the tenses change. I don't know why this would be. This may be a dialectic issue, that the word changed meaning with time. Say because of editors. It may be prison speech, so someone warning about edits. It may also be that there is a profound connection between what in English are radically different terms. This last case may be going on more frequently than I could have imagined before.
Let me start with a simple example.
Evil
The root spelling of the paleo vocabulary word for evil is "Oo-Ve-Lu." The English word is a transliteration into English "E-V-L." This is easy enough to understand. Our English word likely comes from this original Paleo word.
Where this gets strange is that the normal English meaning of this word is only picked up when this root is used in advanced forms. Let me start with those, because you will recognize them.
So "Oo-Ve-Lu-Fe" means "his evil." The trailing Fe defaults to male gender, but English gender would depend on context.
Other examples include "Oo-Ve-Lu-Ku" which would normally translate to "Your Evil." Usually the Ku will pick off a single "you." "Oo-Ve-Lu-Ku-Ve-Ne" would normally mean something like "your evil" where the evil is being ascribed to a group who are evil.
But what is strange here is that the root itself, stand alone, with no other grammatical forms is normally being translated into English as "enter." A survey of examples suggested this was not all that bad of a word choice given the sentences it was used in.
This implies something about the fundamental definition of evil. Evil appears to mean entering a place where someone does not belong. The English word "trespass" might be capturing some of this idea.
We cannot see this conceptual connection in English, but it is very obvious when looking at this word in context across the text.
At this point in the work I am loading the lexicon in order to work audit problems. I need parallel English to track audit code. So I don't really want to go further with word studies in terms of figuring out what might be going on in any particular passage. But, think about a paleo sentence like "Enter the temple." If this turns out to pass audit, there is a strange double meaning with the idea itself. The reader is supposed to ask about if this is an evil act. We have no such concern on the English language side of this. We do on the Paleo side.
Scepter
Another pattern I am seeing is a diversity of English that follows individual paleo words. The word for a shepherd's rod, or staff, comes out into English with a variety of terms. "Scepter" is an example. Note how there is serious emotion implied in English when we use scepter instead of just "rod" or "staff."
English translators look to be putting an emotional spin on stories that simply do not exist in the base text. A scepter is no different than a shepherd's staff.
Also curious about this particular word involves the more complex tenses. English translations shift the meaning from the rod itself to the flock under that rod, so for people this becomes "tribe" in English. This seems to be an intentional component of the design of the Paleo language.
We see this going on in the modern world when we put flags on rods. These become icons for whole people groups. On the paleo side there is always the implication that this is a shepherded group. On the English side we more easily think about flags as marking a territory with some level of government. We often loose track of the shepherding aspect of these groups.
The same word, "rod" is used for discipline. So their is a sense of threat involved. The shepherd carrying a staff can discipline members of the flock.
In any case, these are examples where the root word carries meaning out into different contexts. By using the same root in different contexts the Paleo language reader innately knows these are related concepts. These conceptual relations are totally lost on English readers.
I have given 2 examples here, but this same pattern is going on widely across the lexicon. What I am seeing this week is that readers of English translations are fundamentally illiterate.
Added Vowels
Years ago Ryan and I took a Hebrew class. We were introduced to several concepts. The first is that the spelling of a word implies a fundamental meaning for the concept space of that word. The second idea was to note that vowels had been added across history, especially before vowel points were added into what is now modern Hebrew.
So everything I just mentioned above will get stronger once the letter definitions are integrated into word definitions. Enter, and Evil, for example, have the same 3 letter root. So they will ride on the same concept space.
So in loading the lexicon this week I found my first good example of an added vowel. In this case parts of the text are spelled without an added vowel, and parts are spelled with an added vowel.
Worship
"Sa-Ge-Du" is the paleo root word for "worship." It is a very common word with many occurrences. It has the standard set of endings. There is limited variation in terms of translation. Sometimes, based on context, it will come out as "bow" or "bow down." Usually this word is chosen when worship is to a person. Translator sensibilities are probably in play here.
Modern Protestants don't bow down in worship, but think about the Hajj as a counter example.
There is a variant spelling for this same root. "Sa-Ge-Ve-Du." That Ve letter is a typical example of an added vowel. This word has the same meaning. It looks like this added vowel was added partially. Either this is a dialectic difference, or a subtle meaning difference. But without audit work, this looks like the textbook example of an added vowel.
Finding this word validated what we learned in class. It also creates book keeping complexity for future audit code. That future audit code needs to work both variations in order to see which survives audit. Based on what we learned in class, we would expect the audit to want the "Ve" removed from the long form.
King
The paleo word "Mo-Lu-Ku" translates into English as king. This same spelling is shared with Hebrew. As a memory peg, Martin Luther King was named by his father so his initials would match the Hebrew spelling of "king."
So there is another term, "Mo-Lu-Wa-Ku," typically translated as "angel" which has what looks to be an added vowel. It certainly fits the pattern we were taught in class. It is following the pattern of "worship" that I introduced above. In this case the "Wa" became the A in English, and that alone is a marker for an added vowel.
If the Wa in "angel" is an added vowel, then it reduces to king. A careful read of the text of Revelation might support the idea that there has been some sort of tampering going on. The throne room has 24 thrones around a central throne, the occupants are all wearing crowns, so this implies kings.
So at some point we adjusted angels in the BRB to be just kings. We have used that term for a long time.
This week I found a problem with "angel" related to the paleo grammar.
There is a fundamental paleo root of "Mo-Lu" which is normally translated into English as "word." The Paleo meaning may be something like the "flow of the shepherd." So it is fundamentally tied to something a shepherd like authority may speak or write.
So "word" here is in the English sense of "giving your word." There is an authoritative sense implied. This is not like a "word" as found in a sentence.
This "Mo-Lu" root can gain a "Wa" ending to mean "the word." So "Mo-Lu-Wa" is something like "the word."
Now watch a trick with king. "Ku" as a suffix almost always means "you" or "your" in English. So the root "Mo-Lu" becomes "king" by adding a "Ku."
So "Mo-Lu-Ku" by normal paleo grammar is "your word." But that entire vocabulary word is growing into a specific meaning. It now becomes the authoritative speaker over a group of people. This is why it becomes "king" in English.
Remember, of course, that asking for a king was a national sin carried out in Samuel's day. It is not a good thing, because now someone speaks authoritatively for you. The sin of asking for a king is found in the spelling of king.
Now, where this gets even stranger is the word "angel." It is spelled "Mo-Lu-Wa-Ku." At first glance, the "Wa" looks like an added vowel. It looks like it should collapse back to "king."
But this word is stacking up grammar on top of "Mo-Lu" to form yet another word. The basic root is "Mo-Lu" so an authoritative word. "Mo-Lu-Wa" adds a suffix, "the (authoritative) word." Then it adds yet another suffix. "the (authoritative) word, your." In English we would reorder the words. "Your authoritative word."
But it gets even more complex. We don't usually find "Mo-Lu-Wa-Ku" but we find "Mo-Lu-Wa-Ku-Wa." This is adding yet another suffix, the definitive article, "the" in English. (The stacking of endings is the complex point for learning the word endings at all.)
In this strange stack of letters we get the idea of the carrier of your authoritative word. The angel, or the divine messenger, is the English for this and it is a reasonable English. It is NOT an added vowel inside king.
So years ago when we were first figuring this stuff out, it was wrong of us to think the Wa was a simple added vowel to the root word "king." We were also making a couple of interpretive mistakes out of Revelation.
Elders sit in thrones, not kings. This is a complicating factor with Revelation itself. These are leaders who have mastered the entire text and have mastered all the exhibits and how to use them. This is a skill base we did not even comprehend years ago.
We also did not know that a "crown" is an exhibit item. Wearing a crown has a symbolic meaning. It means that someone can master the flow of history. This is what elders can do because they know all of the exhibits and how to use them. Besides also authoring the text, this is why they have such authority to be mentioned in Revelation.
Fixing King
I figured out this spelling problem with "Mo-Lu-Wa-Ku" one evening this past week after dinner. I was out in the shop. I stopped to tell Ryan about this, that we had a problem with how we had messed up the word "king." It was my intent that this needed to be fixed in the BRB.
Before I could say anything to Ryan, I learned he had been working on the Qu Map app, especially one of the grids. He said to me he was making adjustments to terms in the BRB. He was dropping some uses of the term king for a more correct "elder" and he was going to adjust king back to angel or messenger.
We had both reached the same conclusion in the same day, but by very different means. Let me shift and tell his story for work this week.
House Cleaning
Generally speaking, Ryan has been going through a house cleaning dealing with a large set of research notes that he has carried around for a long time.
Many of those notes go back many years, especially to an era when we were regularly visiting Disneyland. That was the time and place where we first worked out the idea of the Qu Map. So Ryan has been reviewing his old notes and deciding what needs to be brought into the Qu Map app, and what is now old and no longer needs to be kept current.
Qu-Map History
The Qu Map started out as a doodle. I was looking for a way to use the entire alphabet in some sort of icon. Because there are 25 letters and punctuation, and because 5 and 5 are the prime factors of 25, then the only even way to arrange those characters in a boxed form is in a 5x5 grid.
There are only a few possible ways to meaningfully arrange those characters inside of a 5x5 box. Should those 25 be arranged row by row, like woven cloth? Or should they spiral into the middle in some way?
The final form we use now is a spiral from the outside and is following the letter Qu. That letter informs the pattern and it sits center top.
We then found the Qu Map on the ground at Disneyland. The main rides in that park are arranged on the same grid. We later found the Qu map on the ground across the USA. Eventually we found it cross the whole world. Those become the 3 basic examples of ground truth for that map itself.
We looked at several other places for Qu Maps. Those may yet exist, but as far as the Qu Map app is concerned, those 3 maps appear to be the most educational. Finding these maps on the ground establishes a level of "ground truth" for what is otherwise just a theoretical study. It is also rather strange because it means the design of the USA, especially, is following some sort of divine plan.
Internal Mapping
When we work on any sort of project like this, we also look for internal maps. By this I mean we look into the text of scripture and look for maps there. One of the ways we've looked for a Qu Map in the text is by looking for a Qu Map as a map of the places and events in the text.
The problem is that the text does not contain any serious clues as to the exact locations of places of interest in the text. For a Qu Map to be seriously interesting, we'd need 25 locations. We'd need strong clues as to where the general locations in the text are actually found in the ancient world.
These don't seem to exist, at least not in a strong enough way to map them out in a rigorous way. Ryan is dropping this as a goal for the Qu Map app for now. So in terms of ground-truth, only the 3 modern examples are being kept in the app.
The other possible textual map is to look for any other lists that are known to run the alphabet itself. Since the Qu Map is ultimately a run of the alphabet, any other such list would also naturally connect to locations on the Qu Map.
The most interesting such list is the list of 25 likely authors of the text itself. This is so interesting that we need to stop and think about that list of authors relative to recent work involving the Story Grid.
These 25 men will be the "elders" as seen in Revelation. When they leave their seats and travel to earth they become "angels." This is because they wrote the inspired "word" of Joshua. They bring that authoritative word to you. It is defined in the spelling of the vocabulary words themselves.
Layers Of Manuscript Organization
Until this week we have been framing the likely inspired organization of the text around 3 levels, like 3 levels of headings. The highest level are general sections that follow the tribes. More precisely, the manuscript organizes around Jacob's blessings pronounced over the tribes. This also includes a strange comment at the end of those blessings about waiting for Joshua's salvation. That points at Hebrews, the part that Joshua wrote himself.
The next layer down are 70 books. These have names. They map to a 70 year cycle that repeats in history. Those 70 books are mapping out to 70 locations on what will be the crown exhibit. That exhibit is the master timeline. It maps to all of history. The elders wear crowns because their work maps onto the crown.
The next layer down is the 25x25 grid of stories that make up the Story Grid App. This means the text irregularly paces across history. Some times have high amounts of text. Other times have low amounts of text. It is not evenly paced.
OK, so where do the list of 25 authors fit into this list?
It turns out their list of names sits below the tribal sections and above the 70 book list. So instead of thinking about the Testimony as having 3 layers of organization, it has 4. 1) Tribes. 2) Authors. 3) Books. 4) Stories.
By length, this runs ~13, 25, 70, and 625.
That layer of 25 authors is likely to be mapping out to the Qu Map with 1 author aligning to each cell in that map. After long discussion we don't think the authors are in strict writing order. Joshua, for example, wrote the Book of Hebrews. This is the end of the list.
This actual writing was done earlier, so out of order. This seems to be happening in a few other places too. So these 25 authors are a slight change from the order of the books in the manuscript.
This gives freedom to figure out placement on the Qu Map itself. The internal letter pairing systems reinforce final placement on the map.
We don't currently expect this to become actual in order headings in the text itself.
That list of 25 authors/elders has now been updated in the Qu Map app. This is the biggest part of a major overhaul of that app that goes online this week.
Qu Map App
The link here is to the Qu Map. The permanent link is off Paleo.In.
The immediate difference from previous versions is inclusion of a Qu Map visual on the front page of that app. Generally speaking we are working towards having important graphics on the front of our apps. Except for apps that are naturally books, we are looking for graphics on opening pages. The Qu Map is the first to get this change.
There is also prose on the front page. Depending on your device the prose will either follow below the Qu Map graphic, or else it will float to the right.
You can use the drop down to select the "Elder" map in order to look at the throne room kings from Revelation. These are the original inspired authors.
Specific Elders
Let me draw your attention to a couple fun examples.
Tobit is now on the list. He was told to write at the end of his book. His book is the best example of a long form, road trip, angel encounter given anywhere in scripture.
Tobit is landing on the Mo letter, which on the USA map is Los Angeles and Long Beach harbor. Note that Los Angeles is "city of angels." Note that the road trip is like a trip on the freeways. The journey for treasure is like the 1930s migration from the dust bowl to southern California. (Now being reversed, also as per Tobit.)
Elijah is now on the Portland/Seattle areas. Elijah took a ride in a fiery chariot. The biggest such fiery chariots, the 747, was invented by Boeing in Seattle.
Peter is now on Atlanta. The big landmark there is a large rock. Peter, is the stone on which Joshua builds his church.
Paul is sitting on the Mississippi river, but more precisely Natchez Trace. So travel by water and land. Paul was always watching out for shipwrecks and road bandits.
In any case, there are lots of other fun things in that app.
Match Dates
We were not looking for anything in particular this week. The USA has started taking evening pot shots at targets in Iran. The Zionists who rule the USA have no choice but to continue trying to conquer the world.
Iran is responding to each strike, but in limited ways. We reach the next Noah dates at the 150 day mark, we only passed the 100 day mark this week. At the end of another 50 days we may see a 70th anniversary war matched back to the Arab Israeli war in 1956.
I have provided some related links in the headline summary below.
Watch Dates
Peeking ahead, the next watch date is 2026-07-13 for the death of Joash. We will return to this as we get closer.
Shop Work
I am doing lexicon work on the shop desktop computer because I can lay out the problem across multiple monitors. Let me give you current stats for that work.
In terms of full manuscript coverage, the lexicon can currently explain 281,757 words. There still remains 254,021 that are not yet explained by queries against the lexicon. So the lexicon coverage of the inbound manuscript is now beyond the 1/2 way point.
In terms of lexicon progress, there are 162 root word entries in the lexicon. Not all entries are complete. Usually root word entries are missing low frequency forms.
In terms of learning the language, this is encouraging because by learning prefixes, suffixes and only 162 root words, over half the text can now be read.
The lexicon does not yet cover very many important names, nor numbers. Most entries are of very common words.
There are 3892 specific word forms listed in the lexicon. There are 47,021 still to load. More than half of those remaining words only have 1 example in the manuscript itself. A major portion of those are in the Apocrypha which I might never load.
This long list of unique words is because combinations of prefixes and suffixes exist around a much shorter list of roots. Though I cannot select what is inspired, I can tell editors were using uninspired forms that mark their uninspired writing. There are serious dialect issues here.
I expect to automate some of this loading process once I am not learning as I go. This is a profound education that I am in.
This week I began to think that we will need something like a concordance app. The Paleo Bible app is not the right tool for working out the audit. Each root becomes the center of a cluster of audit related questions that spread out to prefixes, suffixes and then adjacent words. Concordances are usually organized around this structure, suggesting this sort of app is needed for the low level audit work.
Headline Review
The following caught my attention this week.
Pope In Spain
With a new, and young, pope he is able to travel. This link is for reference. He was in Spain, in part for dedication of a new church tower. The key point here is an estimated 1,000,000+ people were in the crowd. Huge, irregular, crowds like this can mark something prophetic going on. Unclear if this is such an event.
Xi to North Korea
Chinese leader Xi visited North Korea. First time in 8 years. North Korea may become a source of nukes for Iran. North Korea has also become something of an economic miracle, with Chinese and Russia trade.
Possible Iran Nuke
The link here is to a long form article on X by Pepe Escobar dealing with Pakistani sources indicating Iran may have a nuke. This is dated June 8, 2026. Generally speaking, Iran seems to be giving up on negotiations with the USA.
Crowds Reach 100 Days
The link here is to a Cradle post on Telegram. It has a pic of the crowds in Tehran. June 9, 2026, was day 100. Are these crowds counting to day 150 for the next Noah series date in Iran? Probably.
$3B Cash to Iran?
The link here is to a post on Telegram with one of many reports that cash had been given to Iran to stop bombing Israel. If this is true, Iran should burn the bundle. Probably laced with a bio weapon. The other problem is that the main goal of the war is to get Iran onto the western central banking cartel. This is a another, central, reason for Iran to stay well away from the US dollar in any form.
Legal Fighting at Temple Mount
There continues to be legal fighting over Temple Mount. This one dealing with noise related to the call to prayer. In order to rebuild a temple Israel needs to clear the area. They appear to be arguing about how best to get that done.
Belfast
The link here is to a post by Tass on Telegram dealing with the burning of a bus in Belfast. The crowds are getting angry over the government taking the wrong side in a stabbing. This is yet another expression of Zionism. The European elite (god's people) are against anything with a Christian heritage, including the Irish.
Train Video
If cat videos don't remove stress, then perhaps a train video will do? The UP 4014 is moving east on Norfolk Southern in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the USA. Unlike the 200th anniversary, the public is NOT really into this celebration. The US government has been occupied by foreigners.
US Strikes on Iran
Every few days the USA appears to be striking Iran, calling those strikes self defense. (The USA is not a civilizational state.) For what purpose the US might be doing this remains unclear. Perhaps trying to provoke Iran? The link here has Kellogg calling for a full war, it also has hints to Iran's nuke threat. This is the first time we've seen Iran's nuke threat in normal media.
Hormuz Closed
This link is to a Press TV post on Telegram reminding that Hormuz is now fully closed. This as a result of strikes on Iran this past week. Oil stocks in the USA are continuing to run out. The US west coast is expected to be the first area to reach tank bottom sometime in early July. The Iranians really need the world to run out of oil. This is the ultimate asymmetrical military play. It should help Russia as well with Europe. Iran is playing a waiting game.
Good Progress in Ukraine
The link here covers the current progress of Russia in Eastern Ukraine. This is a slow moving war. Eventually Russia and Europe will fight directly. For now, Russia continues to take territory from Ukraine. Putin is constrained by an election in September, so we would not expect dramatic changes in this venue.
Candace Trip to Russia
Candace Owens is not on my regular list of podcasts, so her content is mostly new to me.
In this video she explains events surrounding her recent vacation to Russia. In particular, one of her American security men had a medical issue that needed emergency surgery while in Russia. She contrasts the Russian medical system with the USA. The USA is a backwards 3rd world country for many more reasons than just health care.
She also covers destruction of Russia by the hand of Jews since the 1880s. This is NEVER covered by people of her stature. I can see why she is so popular. As she explains, she was widely attacked for this trip.
Candace had a remarkable adventure, and this is a very nice review of some very important world history. Russia really matters to the prophetic story of Passion Week. Working out the timelines is still future work for me.
By the way, I learned this week that the Paleo root word for "war" is down translated into English as "approach" when used with individual people. Joshua was frequently "approached" by Jews across Passion Week using this term. This means the inspired writer considered all of Joshua's interaction with Jews to be a low grade form of war.
So fulfillment of those stories as they have replayed across the past 200+ years would always expect headlines where Jews conduct war against Christians.
This point is self evident from the vocabulary words used in the text. But this is a detail that only native paleo readers would ever be able to spot. Candace is giving some Russian history that will eventually turn out to be timed prophecy. Given this week's lexicon work, now we know why.
More Later,
Phil
