Ask The Alethiometer!

[Kappa]

Weirdly, you got the ultimate message more or less right on that one even though you had a lot of the details wrong...

[Alphabeta]

numbers no knowledge meaning alethiometer language

"I don't know how to say numbers"?

Numbers no teaching meaning alethiometer language

"nobody ever taught me math"?

[jalapeno_dude]

Man, I like the alethiometer's sass. Any chance it's a template and we'll get another version that speaks intelligibly? ;)

(Despite the ;), I am semi-serious...)

Elspeth? :P

[Kappa]

Elspeth and the alethiometer do not share a template. XDDDDD The alethiometer is purple and Elspeth is green.

...It would actually be kind of interesting if someone noticed the alethiometer was purple... hmm. XD

[Alphabeta]

So, what was the exact meaning of the answer to my question, anyway?

[Kappa]

"Numbers are not the kind of meanings I have symbols for" - number not type/kind meaning alethiometer symbol.

[Alphabeta]

Oh. I don't really see how the cauldron is type/kind, but it does make sense.

Alethiometer, do you mind if we ask questions we already know the answers to to see how you answer them?

[Kappa]

[Alphabeta]

Truth not anger

"telling the truth never annoys me"?

Or maybe alethiometer not dislike, "I don't mind"?
