SAVED FROM THE FLOOD — Oera Linda studies
A creative OL-student has kindly sent us a link to his JOL-Font, which can be downloaded and installed at archive.org.
It is a good start and we thank him for his contribution to the project.
However, I would like a font to look more like the actual hand written letters in the manuscript.
For example, like in these experiments by me:
Who can do this? I will provide the best scans for that.

In Codex Oera Linda, the number seven is used in many phrases, many compared to other counting numbers:
There is this word from informal (spoken) Dutch dialects (e.g. in Amsterdam, Westfriesland): sjoege: understanding, insight, knowledge, wit. Its etymology is uncertain, but assumed to have come from Yiddish and Hebrew:

| Dutch etymological standard work on sjoege |
Other numbers may have also had a symbolic meaning, for example four (FJUR) being related to the fourth element; fire and six (SEX) being related to fertility, procreation and sexual pleasure.
On page 9 of Codex Oera Linda - [first] English edition (2021), a list is presented with a suggested alternative reading order. While the codex page/line numbers are correct, some of the chapter numbers are not (they refer to an earlier version by mistake). Below is the correct and more elaborate list.
(Please note: in the second edition, a correct list is included and in the E-book, the sections can easily be navigated by use of hyperlinks)
