Decipherment of the Rongorongo Script under the Wikaira Decipherment Framework`

This scientific working paper presents the decipherment of the Rongorongo Script (Rapa Nui / Easter Island) under the Wikaira Decipherment Framework. Fluted wooden tablets (kohau rongorongo) carved with parallel channels were engineered to protect raised glyphs during handling. Using continuous reverse-boustrophedon syntax, inscriptions link clan lineage headers directly to marine catches, sweet potato tubers, obsidian adzes (toki), and labor allocations to balance community distribution accounts.

Abstract

This scientific working paper presents the decipherment of the Rongorongo Script (Rapa Nui / Easter Island) under the Wikaira Decipherment Framework. Fluted wooden tablets (kohau rongorongo) carved with parallel channels were engineered to protect raised glyphs during handling. Using continuous reverse-boustrophedon syntax, inscriptions link clan lineage headers directly to marine catches, sweet potato tubers, obsidian adzes (toki), and labor allocations to balance community distribution accounts.
