The Zheji Method is a proposed morphemic-syllabic decoding framework developed by Erjon Hala, an independent researcher. While the method draws theoretical inspiration from the phonosemantic theories of Albanian philosopher and linguist [Petro Zheji], Hala’s work represents a systematic analytical evolution of these ideas, applying them to undeciphered or partially interpreted inscriptions through a structured multi-layered framework.

The method has been applied to inscriptions such as the Trojan Seal, Dodona Tablets, and the Lemnian Stele, interpreting signs as syllabic morphemes and reconstructing meanings through three interpretive layers: structural, symbolic, and functional.[1]

The Zheji Method emphasizes the connection between form and meaning, aligning morphemes with patterns in the Albanian language and broader Indo-European roots. Its methodology and datasets are documented in open-access repositories such as [Zenodo] and [Academia.edu], and the framework continues to evolve through ongoing publications and peer discussion.[2][3][4][5]

Some of these interpretations have also been enhanced using AI-assisted analysis tools to explore morpho-semantic alignments and predictive etymological parallels.

Background

Petro Zheji’s linguistic approach builds upon historical Indo-European linguistics and draws inspiration from the tradition of Albanological scholarship pioneered by philologists such as Gustav Meyer, Holger Pedersen, and Norbert Jokl. These figures laid the groundwork for comparative Albanian linguistics in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Petro Zheji’s method builds on vowel patterns in Albanian,[1] ...and syntactic parallels to Greek.[2]

Contemporary studies such as Ranko Matasović’s Grammatical Sketch of Albanian for Students of Indo-European highlight the importance of vowel and consonant shifts in Albanian, which are also central to Zheji’s methodology.[1]

Brian D. Joseph’s comparative grammar study further supports the existence of deep syntactic and morphological relationships between Albanian and Greek.[2]

Independent Interpretations

Albanian linguist Dr. Albert Vlash Nikolay d’Ohër has presented a related approach, using Gheg Albanian to decode the Mycenaean language. His work was published in academic volumes on Indo-European etymology and offers a similar morphemic interpretation of Linear B inscriptions.[3]

Historical Foundation

The foundational linguistic studies that inform the Zheji Method include:

  • Gustav Meyer’s Etymologisches Wörterbuch der albanesischen Sprache (1891), which established the Indo-European affiliation of the Albanian language.[4]

[5] [6]

  • Holger Pedersen’s comparative work on Indo-European morphology and phonetics, which laid the theoretical framework for Albanian phonological development.[7]
  • Norbert Jokl, often called the "father of Albanology," documented and analyzed Albanian grammar, lexicon, and historical development extensively.[8]
  • Franz Bopp’s pioneering comparative grammar that recognized the Indo-European character of Albanian in 1854.[9]
