[split] Aga Tentakulus' Logical System

[Aga Tentakulus]

Just so there are no misunderstandings here.

‘qo’ and language

‘qo’ occurs 99.6 per cent of the time at the start of a word. It does not occur elsewhere within a word.
It cannot therefore represent a natural letter, because in almost every language letters also occur within words.

‘qo’ is not independent. There is an extremely narrow sequence of glyphs: initial ‘qo’ -> ‘k’ 59.8 per cent, ‘t’ 22.3 per cent (the gallows together 82 per cent).

This makes it even less likely that it is encoded as a letter and, of course, makes ‘qo’ as a word very, very unlikely....

Just as an aside...

Incorrect
qo = qui, qo8 = quit/quid, qe = que, qo(EVA L) = quis usw.

I believe that the best way to learn is by doing.

Well, the text won’t contain much information then, with so many questions....

Token level (tokens containing ‘qo’):
Total: 5,299 / 38,959 = 13.6%

So, on average, every sixth word begins with a question????

‘que’ is added at the end, and ‘quit’ is also more of a word-internal element...

The question was whether 4o makes sense.
It does. Now the question is: how far can I go?

I’ll simply double your answer in 12 words.
Six words if you can’t tell a ‘q’ from a ‘4’. 

The focus here is on cryptology, not a calligraphy competition.

@JoJo_Jost
You say
that ‘que’ (qc) appears at the end of a sentence.
How often does (qc) appear in the text?
Your comment is therefore of interest to me; if it is correct, it would indicate to me the beginning or end of a sentence.
Thank you.

What I found amusing about this sample text.
It’s the last sentence on page 166r, and when I turn the page, the first thing I see in the top left-hand corner is a sketch of a goat’s innards.
Coincidence? Or was it on purpose?

'que' appears at the end of a word!

que steht am Ende des Wortes!

~que = et ~

In medieval manuscript it's not necessarily appended at the end of words, it's often written (incorrectly?) as a separate word, which makes it indistinguishable from qu[a]e.

'que' appears at the end of a word!

IIUC, Latin "que" is another way to say "et" ("and"), but it is not used in the same way.  To say "A B, and C" you could say "A B et C" or "A B Cque", or maybe "A B C que".

"SPQR = Senatus Populusque Romanus = "The Senate and the the People of Rome"

"Tu quoque Brute" = "And you too, Brutus"

"Arma virumque cano ..." = "I sing of the warriors and the man ..."

"Homines vident audiuntque." = "The people see and hear"

Thus the "que" could occur at the end of a sentence.

All the best,--stolfi
