Okay, so I couldn't resist giving it a try. Here's the first sentence of The Hobbit enciphered with the system You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
With spaces (mutation 000):
ba-cez cez ce ce caz-dyz-faz-fe fe ge-hiz hiz gix-gew-giv giv gew-few-gaw-few-giv-gow gow fov-fit-fos-dos-dur dur fyr-gyr-fas-fer-fis fis fit fit ges-has-har-haq-jaq-hap hap
Without spaces (mutation 000 used for punctuation only):
ba-cez ce caz-dyz-faz-fe ge-hiz gix-gew-giv gew-few-gaw-few-giv-gow fov-fit-fos-dos-dur fyr-gyr-fas-fer-fis fit ges-has-har-haq-jaq-hap hap
I've done this largely by hand using a primitive Excel sheet, so I may have made mistakes. I think it took me about two hours to do this, but that includes setting up the sheet, so encoding the thing itself may have cost me, say, twenty minutes? I can imagine a user could develop a good pace after some practice, and by using something like a letter circle (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) to keep track of the consonants and vowels.
Below is a screenshot of the Excel sheet. The blue column contains the plaintext; the yellow column gives the mutations for each letter; the columns to the right of that contain the syllables/words of the ciphertext. Red shading indicates double values in the column at hand. Obviously, those are much more frequent if you look at separate syllables, especially if you choose to include spaces with mutation 000, as this leads to doubling of each word-final syllable.
An interesting tweak could be to insert more empties (Ø) in the consonant list (e.g. ØbcdfØghjkØlmnpØqrstØvwxz), so you end up with more syllables that lack one or both of the Cs, thereby increasing the frequency of similar syllables. I'll see what this does.
