As Scott said, you can also derive different meanings depending on what symbols you couple. That is why I was trying to find alternatives to a straight translation. Maybe we will eventually crack the code when the rest of the Orientation film is found... But the site you found is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I found another place searching google images for "glyph" where it looked like it could mean "king" also. Plus I noticed on some translation pages that symbols paired with other symbols can mean totally different things. Whew. I didn't know watching LOST was going to turn me into an archaeologist. Seems pretty out there that the producers would incorporate hieroglyphics into the show. I think they are definately symbols for something, but I wonder how deep into "translation" and "egyption" we really need to go. Hope it's not season 4 before we find out! Hmm… good catch.

I looked online and couldn't find meanings for most of the symbols, but it is possible that this one means "Carry or lift".
