Code:page 16 transcription --------------------- can be fed into computer program to do frequency analysis of -number of unique symbols -frequencies of each type -frequencies of components -frequencies of combinations of components -frequencies of components in certain positions key --- a=small white sun b=small dark sun c=small white moon right d=small white moon left e=small black moon right f=small black moon left h=large black sun i=large white moon right j=large white moon left k=large black moon right l=large black moon left m=thick black vertical n=thick black horizontal o=thick white vertical p=thick white horizontal A=cross B=large cross two verticals C=small cross two verticals D=small cross three verticals E=cross thick black vertical F=cross thick black horizontal G=cross two verticals left one thick I=cross thick white vertical J=cross thick white horizontal K=cross two verticals thick horizontal L=cross two verticals right one thick O=large white sun H=horizontal line V=vertical line notes ----- Lower case letters are not specifically related to upper case letters. a and A have nothing in common for example. Some symbols contain others (the containers are all capitalised) Write down the capital letter then follow this by the sequence of contained letters. Transcribe the numbers contained left to right, top to bottom, using dashes (-) for empty spaces in this order: 1|2 or 1|2|3 or 1|2|3|4 - - - - - - - - - 3|4 4|5|6 5|6|7|8 If all cells are empty then the dashes can be missed out. o| - - = Aa--c |c With small symbols (a,b,c,d,e,f) use dashes(-) to give an indication of vertical position: top third = a- central = a (no dashes) bottom third = -a In addition the suns (a,b) are occasionally positioned just above or below the central line: just above center = a= just below center = =a When two symbols are horizontally 'together' (ie bounded by some larger symbol in some way) then join them (eg. Oab). If they are not bounded then treat them as seperate symbols unless the surronding spacing indicates they should be considered 'together' in a consistent manner. eg. Va (line 06 position 03) When two or more symbols (or groups of symbols) are stacked above each other use a divisor (/). (eg. Oa/b). The exception to this rule is when a horizontal line is present (either n or H or p). In this case the divisor can be missed out (eg. a/H/b is shortened to aHb). If there is a large gap between two vertically stacked items use two divisors like so: a//b 01: f- E A-a-a a n l Ob Baa--ba A---c Ob/b k e V -f Aafba V -f -d -d -f b d d d f d b/a a e/c c/e a/b m f n a a b a -f A -c a/b B-ba-aa aHa -Hb nda m Ob A--eq Ob B---a-b f 02: Oa Ob f A aHba h -f h f- n pHn b B-aa--- a/f d/d h a/b V d/d f/d K E V a/b l bn a/d b a m V a aHb A -f Oc/a f b a b a a HHn a-N-a f B-ab--a 03: aan f- k b/a d/a V Ob E V B--b-aa k a b a abHfd Vf f f Odf Baba--- b/f Aabb- Ob/a F V a- a- a-b A-b-- Aaaab abHa o m h aan eHaa a/b -f V -d -f C a a b nH V =b a= =a Ob A---b f 04: a V A n a V n a a Oe Aaaa- l a/d k V h Od/a k e- j a/b Vm b d/d l V f- l c/a A-b-- Ob -f Odd b a Caa---- Hn V Oba b Aa--a V a/a n 05: V Ob F Oa/a Ob n Oba m V V C--b--- a/a V h Of Aa-a- Oe Aaa-b b a b A d- k c- k c- -b m a- Cb----- Ob aaHab m m C---b-- a a a Aacba f- l F a m V a a E 06: aHa G Va a a b a C-aa--- n Oaa k V Aaab- bcHb Oba d/d -f k Ob a/d l b/a Vm A-b-- Ob b Aa--b b/a p V l k Fb--- a- b/a V f/d a/a b a Oa/b pHn n b Oa/c F h n V Oa/b F Daa--ba-a -Hb V 07: k c b/a a/a pHn E Oa/a b/a Aa--- c F c a V b a Obb Of c d/d b k c c c b a a l j h d/d 08: V h Cb-aa-a Ob c- Ad-a- d/f E aHba Hb Oa pn h h n Aab-a Aaa-- a/b Aaa-- c//f -d -f c/c bHa e/d Ob Aaa-c h h m Oab k c- Hn d/f f- l a- m -a n A -a a- -b abHa o c- 09: c p Aaaba n n a/a Ob Ob nH abp Faa-a n a-b/a pH n n a m a a Oa/b Aa--e f/a d/d m a/b E-a-- a/b Aa-ab c l l j m Ob e/c bn m Oa/a c-n Eb--- E a/a a/b E aa/b F a/b h b a Caa---- l -c Ob/a pn Ob Oa/d n c 10: a/a m V a- m Bb---ba Ob/a Aac-- l l b- a/a c/d m e l d/d b d/c l m e- j Aaeab b j d/d m f- m d/d l e/e c/c C-aba-b Ob m Aa--- aaHb n L -a a- -a Ka-a--a k 11: V m aHb Caa-a-- baHa Ca--b-- Ob k F m h Ob Adaa- e/c d/f Oba e c m G a- -a a- Hn a a a m Ob c- Caab--a Ob/d Ob o m V F-a-- -a a- -a m h Ob h O V m 12: m Ob Ob/a E-d-- baHc n/n Oa/a h a/d c- abHa pH n Aaaaa h V f- Aaaaa aan naa b o aHb F Oa/a m l k baHaa nH Oa/b Oa F J F a a a m V a/b V h A-ba- Aa-aa n a o h m O C-ab-aa an m 13: V O b B--aa-- V e- l ban nab f- Aaaa- b V d/d Aaa-b f V c/c l b V pa Bbaa-b- V Ab-aa b V h V 14: V h V m a/b abHba m V f- -c h m a/a o nHn Oa/b Ob B--a--a Ob/a k VV V B---aab l l a a a k V Ob Aa-ac l V l bHa Bbba--- m a a A a a b VV m V a- -a a- n 15: k Oab nH B-ba--a b/a naa Hp V Ob Aad-- e- c/d l E V k Ob h -a b- m h Hn b/a m Oa/b V abHa m -c d/e Ob HpH a/a V Aa-aa m a Ob o Ba---ba Oba h V HHH b Ja-a- n a/a o a/a V f- rules for other pages --------------------- There is another symbol - a small cross used. Very occasionally a symbol is drawn in bold. This is indicated with an asterisk after the symbol. Any anomalous symbols or symbol groups are dealt with as best as possible and then commented. Eg a/aa/-aa [08]. splitting cross pieces ---------------------- it's possible to split these down into components also.
