An alphabetic cipher
#4
Simply rearranging the letters of each word into a fixed order seems like an awfully impractical encoding scheme.  Ersu, I eoppssu bdemoosy cdlou abcceilnovy cdeehipr chsu a ghint, btu eht ceoprss dlouw eb dehiillsvy cdffiiltu.  Enjoy keeping that up for 100+ pages, dear reader!

But it's not hard to imagine ways in which such a reordering could have been made easily reversible.  Say, for instance, that we break the text into syllables and sort the letters into alphabetical order while placing * in front of an initial consonant.

el*n e*mz o*z e*dl a*cm i*mn *di *nos *t a*r i*v a*t

is easily reversible as

*n-e-l *m-e-z *z-o *d-e-l *c-a-m *m-i-n *d-i *n-o-s *t *r-a *v-i *t-a

but the letters in each "word" follow an extraordinarily rigid order, with only * ever varying in its placement.  This wouldn't be fun to have to read, but I could at least imagine doing it.  Of course Sukhotin consonant-and-vowel analysis would go nowhere in this scenario.
