EVA "qo" in 15th century Spanish cipher
#14
Just so there are no misunderstandings here.


‘qo’ and language

‘qo’ occurs 99.6 per cent of the time at the start of a word. It does not occur elsewhere within a word.
It cannot therefore represent a natural letter, because in almost every language letters also occur within words.

‘qo’ is not independent. There is an extremely narrow sequence of glyphs: initial ‘qo’ -> ‘k’ 59.8 per cent, ‘t’ 22.3 per cent (the gallows together 82 per cent).

This makes it even less likely that it is encoded as a letter and, of course, makes ‘qo’ as a word very, very unlikely....

Just as an aside...
