On plain texts and ciphers (a thought experiment)

[Anton]

In any case, qo is mostly in B folios. That suggests that qo is a representation of something that is generally natural for A and B but is required much more often in B - why? Probably because of the nature of the underlay text:

- different underlay language making much more frequent use of a particular letter combination;
- different narration style making much more frequent use of a particular word (if spaces are not spaces);
- different subject of Balneo and Recipe requring much more frequent use or a particular word or symbol (imagine e.g. those crosses from spells mapping into qo) - if spaces are not spaces, again.
