The following is a table of letter pairs. Where the word chokain would be
split thus:

ch ho ok ka ai in n.

The period marks a space and is used to mark frequency of letters either
beginning of ending words. Cut out the following and load into a spreadsheet
such as Excel.

The first character in each pair is the column lookup, the second the row
lookup. Note in particular column c and row h. Here the numbers 4, 16, 12
and 51 seem to be consistent and mark the letter triplets cfh, ckh, chp and
cth consistently. As I have only mapped the first five pages I am unsure at
the moment whether or not this persists. Also certain cells hold high values
which suggest these are fixed pairs on the first five pages. Such as ch, ai,
ii and ol. The reverse is usually not the case, i.e, hc has 2 occurances and
ia has none.

I have 'normalized' the data by giving these triplets and certain pairs
their own letters, which are unused as far as I know in the transliteration.
The following is the normalized table.

 ,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,.,!

Has anyone else seen the same results? I await your replies.
