[Article] Decoding Anagrammed Texts Written in an Unknown Language and Script

[Koen G]

Marco: I think the author of the article I quoted assumed that Hauer and Kondrak allowed it to be an abjad because they selected Hebrew. Even if that's incorrect, it's an understandable assumption because scrambled vowelless English makes no sense, it's a useless cipher. The same is true for anagrammed vowelless Hebrew but at least there you've got some cultural arguments in favor of the vowelless aspect.

And it's like JKP says, context is key in full abjads. Since here the context would also be scrambled, and hence unavailable, problems are only compounded.
