	I like this!  The non-<qokeety> words are probably the
ones more 
like natural language, perhaps just the underlying
language in  relatively 
simple substitution cipher.  Isn't this what modern
shorthand systems are 
like --- the less common words are spelled out or
abbreviated, or even 
plaintext?
