Ogham is a form of alphabet used in ancient times in Ireland and Britain. It consisted of various groups of parallel lines cut into the edge of a stone, with the combinations making up to either 20 or 25 letters. The lines were either slanted upwards to the right, horizontal, or downward to the right, allowing for a variety of letters to be created with just a few marks. "An Ogham" might refer to an inscription in this language.

How do you say I love you in Ogham?

You can't say I love you in ogham. But you can write it. Ogham isn't as much a spoken language as it is a written one. But it isn't really a written one either. It's more of an oral. Ogham consists of lines and symbols. I am unable to draw out the symbols but I can tell you the names of them. I love you would be translated into Iodhadh Luis Onn _____ Eadha _____ Onn U'r. The two _____ are blanks. The Ogham alphabet does not consist of the letters V and Y. If you would like to see these letter names translated into Ogham symbols, go to http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham. I hope this was of help.
