When I first saw the page initial and subsequently the paragraph initial strong leanings toward ‘normal’ words being prefixed by a gallows, I imagined it was a means to flag to the reader which cipher table to begin with for that page/paragraph. A “Pch” meant use table P’s ch row to start.
Could line initial prefixes then indicate using starting that line with the ‘y’ or ‘d’ etc… row in the same encryption table?
I’ve also wondered if a space was only changing rows in a table such that each ch of consecutive chol chor or each d of daiin dain were different plaintext letters or syllables.
As for labelese, I always wondered if the ‘o’ table consisted of letters that also act as numerals.
Of course, I haven’t done anything but imagine the idea of a multi-table poly alphabetic encryption system that would fit into the time period.
