In pursuit of otol

[geoffreycaveney]

otol is one fine test specimen for any substitution "language solution". Another one is aror sheey (the stuff that appears in line with plain text in f116v).

Just for fun, using the ME correspondence table for that, we get "ir[o]ur thee*", where asterisk stands for y (not present in the table). Not sure if that makes any sense.
