Doing the alphabet layout has convinced me that the Author of OFMM*
was gifted in creativity, but not a lot of artistic talent. His design is
better
than the execution in the drawings.

The alphabet is elegant, with each letter distinct, while still related to
others.

The Astro section shows me that he saw things precisely as they were,
but he didn't represent them in a normal fashion, which is what has us
confused.

I'm willing to bet a pizza that when we crack the code, it will prove to
be simple and elegant as well. Also that the key is there, it just hasn't
been recognized as yet.
