I think you are asking if Bungie created Olly-Olly-Oxen-Free ?
If so....
Olly Olly Oxen Free has been around for a very long time. We used it when playing Hide & Seek as kids. There was a 1978 film with that as its title. So Bungie definitely didn't make it up themselves.I'm well aware that Bungie did not invent the phrase. I'm also well aware that they didn't implement it into their fictional universe; Nylund did that.
As another user said, I was asking whether or not the six-toned whistle that the Spartans used as a code between one another was actually ever established as a tonal progression in real life by the caretakers of the Halo lore at some point in the past. I imagined it to be something that may have been asked or discussed at a convention or panel, if anything, and thus, very difficult information to find.
So, yeah, whether or not the tone-specific whistle actually had six, specific notes assigned to it, or whether it was never explored, even within the walls of Bungie HQ (or Nylund's mind).
In either case, it would be a fun question at a convention booth to ask.
Although I maintain a large vocabulary, I still don't understand what you're saying. Please dumb it down to 5th grade level for me :P
