Anyone fluent in Hylian?

:emutalk:Translation.
After doing research on ancient languages and finding out (a little bit more) about Tolkien's elfish and ancient dwarfish runes, I have mapped out a sort of translation.
Let the vertical stick like runes be spaces. the more sticks, the longer the pause, probably:
- for dramatic effect
- for better word separation
- punctuation?
There are 11 runes on the cd.
the first one with two bars on the top shall be called A1.
the second one with two bars on the top and a reverse p at the bottom can be called A2.
the third one with three bars at the top shall be called B2.
the character just next to the third one shall be called M1.
Let the character next to that one, which looks like a funny e, be A1-0.
The stick-like with two bits on its side is M2.
the other five runes on the right side:
- first one that looks like an A1-0 symbol turned 90 degrees clockwise: A1-0-1.
- second one is of course A1.
- third one (after the stick rune) is A2-0.
- fourth one: C1-0
- fifth one: M3.
The M runes are probably used like periods. bars above runes may indicate comparatives and superlatives; just like some ancient languages like Gallo-Gaelic, which has bars above letters to indicate accents to different degrees.
Or they could indicate some sort of an expressive sound, like those used in elfin runes.
Of course the entire message on both sides I still cannot figure out - they appear to be fragments of a sentence; Hylian languages resemble ancient languages in the sense that of course they cannot have only two spaces in between words.
oh well, at least some progress is better than no progress.

From what I found out (yeah i know this is a little late, hehe), the sentence is about the following:
"Inside the dungeon, you find there are strange pots."
"It's (they are?) very important."
