First, a nuance to add to the cipher rules: It now appears to me that EVA [y], which I have represented with the Yorkist cipher letter value "K", may represent not only the Middle English present participle "-ing" or "-ynge", but also the past participle, which may take various forms depending on the verb. Yes, this is another small degree of freedom to be accounted for, but it is fully consistent with the principles of the cipher and its rules as I have analysed them thus far. It is far from just an "ad hoc" new rule. Moreover, as JKP and others are well aware, the character we call EVA [y] is very similar in shape and appearance to the ubiquitous medieval Latin manuscript abbreviation symbol that was also used for a rather large variety of both endings and prefixes. Thus it is not inconsistent to propose its extension from present participles to past participles as well. And once again, from the "Yorkist" cipher perspective, this rule also increases the number of words which may end in the word-final character "K", the same final character as the word "YORK". Thus I have provided not only a means to explain the low entropy of the text, but also a logical reason and motivation for the author(s) to do so.
And so without further ado, the first line of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. :
EVA transliteration:
[ tol shokchy opaiin opaiin chofaly ypar ypal opal opaldaiin ]
Yorkist cipher letter values:
" pOs thOtyK fo fo ydisK Kpir Kpis fis fisso "
my interpretation of this line:
" pos : thouting of fo -- idist ripynge, capias, fis fisoun "
translation:
" pledge : thou'ing of [the] foe [who has] committed pillaging, writs of arrest, farts galore "
