Re: VMs: The Sun, The Moon and The Stars
Hi :-)
Four (4) repeats is all the ~Folding key coding~ can handle also,

throw in a _gallows~ character of (random) choice, then you can
have upto 8 (eightMAX)... (mirrored?) what words weould qualify?

Opposite from French (and I guess most if not
all Romance languages).
