It's entirely normal for unstressed syllables to consist of nasals or liquids in English. Think of the two-syllable word "apple," for instance.
What weirds me out is that apparently proto-Indo-European was perfectly fine with nasals, liquids, or continuants taking full stresses. That's just funky.

It was Bahssikava, yes, and he threw the stress on the wrong syllable of my name, too, but you don't see me complaining, no, never.

It screws up anything that uses sound resource files, but few things actually do. Khoth suggested I check Escape Velocity, and EV runs, but the sound is completely messed up.
So whatever it is, it's messing with sound resources.

Okay, so this is what I did:
I downloaded the source from Sourceforge. I looked through and found a .xcode file, and I figured that'd be the place to start building it. I opened it in Xcode, which popped up a promising-looking window. I went to the Build menu and chose "Build." It gave me this:
When I try to open the resulting application, I get this message: "You cannot open the application '3D Blades of Avernum Editor' because it may be damaged or incomplete."
EDIT: After a conversation with Khoth, I did a find-replace of "UCHAR" for "unsigned char," at which point the build worked. Now what?
EDIT 2: It appears that my computer has some sort of serious internal error. Thanks guys, but I don't think we can solve it here.

The original editor does not work either.
I have Xcode, but I have very little idea how to use it. With detailed instructions, I could build the source, but I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
The last thing I did with the editor was check the demo's version of VoDT. I chose not to save anything. It was working fine at that point.

Oh, speaking of which: the most reliable estimates I've heard put most of the Dead Sea scrolls at 1st c. AD. A few will push it back as far as 1st c. BC or slightly earlier, but middle of the third century BC is unlikely.
This in response to Gizmo's statement a while back. It seemed wrong at the time, but I wasn't able to dredge up a memory of the actual date until just now. (Wikipedia's page on them says something to this effect.)
EDIT: Oh, and another thing: it's not so much the copying errors between whenever gospels were finalized in the second half of the first century or the first half of the second that are troubling. It's the process of revision that could have gone on between the events in the 20's and 30's and the final written versions in the 80's, 90's, or later. Similarly for the OT, except much, much earlier.
Accidental revision is not the issue nearly as much as deliberate revision.

My 3D Editor won't open anymore. When I double-click on it, it begins to open, starts showing the editor, and then closes. It pops up an error messages that says, "The application 3D Blades of Avernum Editor has unexpectedly quit." It gives me the option to submit a bug report to Apple, and then it gives this description:
I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9. I'm using the latest version of the 3D Editor, and reinstalling doesn't help. Nor does restarting or closing all other applications. I can't recall installing any system software recently, but I may have had some sort of auto-update or something.
Any ideas?
EDIT: And oddly enough, no version of the 3D Editor will open. They all do the same thing.
EDIT 2: What the heck? BoA won't open either. Gah, time to try re-downloading that.
EDIT 3: I did download a demo of BoA and install it to check if VoDT had been fixed, which seem related. It was installed in a completely different folder, and I'm not opening that copy, though.

The majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls were written on animal skins, not parchment.
Drakey, you may want to look up what parchment is. Unless you meant that they were written on straight, untreated skin, which seems almost impossible.
Coronach: that's an interesting article. I know there is little agreement, though; I'd like to hear some of the other sides. The most damning point seems to be the silence of the Egyptian texts on the escape of the Jews — a major slave revolt (like the Spartacus one) would've dominated any records the Egyptians kept during that time. And it's pretty rare for a whole group of slaves to rise up and then run away; normally they try to overthrow the government (again, like Spartacus).
To anyone who can read the OT in Hebrew: is there any sense that the language comes from different time periods? Does it have more archaic and less archaic parts? Greek prior to the Hellenistic period can be localized in space and time pretty obviously based on minor linguistic differences, so I'm wondering if the Hebrew shows any plurality of dialect or if it was actually standardized at some point.

Alorael: I think the point of the mazes was to test the rate of learning. They'll use the same maze layout several times and see how long it takes for the mice to memorize the path. Then they'll use a different layout and try it again.
So it's not a test of whether they can do it or not; it's how quickly, and whether they learn.

I've heard that eight perfect shuffles will bring a deck of cards exactly back to its original order. I have no idea what makes up a perfect shuffle, but it sounds like what you're talking about.

BoA has a lot more options and a lot fewer ridiculously low arbitrary limits. But choose whichever engine you like better — if you prefer playing BoE, design for BoE. If you prefer playing BoA, design for BoA.
