I have always paid attention to your posts. You chose a concrete angle
of attack and stuck to it. I have no idea if it's right. But it's going
to have to make beautiful simple sense to me like Brumbaugh's cipher. ;)

Unless I completely missed your sarcasm about <sh> vs <Sh>, I say
Currier/Z/, Frogguy[c't], EVA<Sh> could be many characters glommed
together. There are "c plume" /c+plume/[c']<e'> = /2/[s]<s>, & "long c
plume" //[e']<c'=164?> to name the obvious. So even the basic glyph is
in question with long and short versions with initial, medial, and final
plumes. And aren't you the one saying there are even round and pointed
plumes?

I should go back to your site. It's been a year or so.

Email me what you've got if it's less than 200KB. Mail me a link if
larger. I'd like to see it.
