A new translation of the Ezerovo ring: is Thracian finally deciphered?

Description

A new translation of the Thracian inscription on the Ezerovo gold ring found in 1912. After all these years since its discovery, this is very likely to be the first correct translation of the inscription and hence the first actual decipherment, and if so it gives us more information about the Thracian language than any other Thracian inscription found so far, enabling one to get a better sense of Thracian's actual place among the Indo-European languages. 

Notes

Fourth version. Typos corrected. I noticed the typos on November 29th.
