On plain texts and ciphers (a thought experiment)

[-JKP-]

Tomas: the possibility of a large number of digraphs is interesting snd would solve a lot of problems. Then you would almost certainly have to assume that most words represent one or two syllables though. Or a lsnguage with very short words. I see no problem with either one.

Thank you Koen - I believe that digraphs and some monographs are the solution, but I have no idea how it works

I think that digraphs are part of the system, as well, and noted some of the more common ones (ox, al, ar, etc.) in pics from the small plants section:

I think I have some idea of how it works (not a solution, but the ability to predict where a vord will show up and approximately how often) but I set myself a goal of not presenting anything until I could read an entire paragraph (I'm having trouble sticking to that goal with all the recent posts on this subject but I'm managing to restrain myself so far).

The two main things that are slowing me down are 1) I'm pretty sure they're not all digraphs, and 2) interpretation of certain of the glyphs.
