[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] Totally agree. I believe there are 38 symbols (plus one) on the Milky Way gates (36, I believe on Pegasus and Universe gates) which could correspond quite nicely to an alphabet. Also, is it wrong that Dan's "proclarush taonas" sounds oddly familiar? I'm not sure the show ever came right out and said this, but my interpretation of how the gate system works is that the gate addresses originally corresponded to the coordinates as defined by constellation triangulation. But as Ginger Beacon mentioned stellar drift has made that less and less true over the intervening centuries. Is why just plugging in the old addresses (from Abydos) didn't work out of the box. Gates with DHDs have been compensating for these movements, but since the SGC gate didn't have a DHD, that's where Sam's stellar drift breakthrough comes fixes everything. Now I'm not about to go back over every DHD dialing we've seen, but does this mean the ring is actually spinning around to a different (presumably corrected) address and not the glyphs as dialed? Also, and I'm nearly certain this would be a very rare occasion, but what happens when a gate is placed at (moves into) the original coordinates of an old gate's coordinates (for which the DHDs have been auto-correcting)? Where does that wormhole go? [/QB][/QUOTE]
