English in Elgar's alphabet with irregularities (phonetic spelling, abbreviations, private words, mirrored symbols for double letters, or a non-linear reading order).
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: three pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Modelling the irregularity (for example treating mirrored pairs as doubled letters) lets a solver produce partial English.
- Elgar's other cipher texts show the same habits.
What would rule it out
- Solvers allowing these irregularities still produce nothing readable, and the exercise-book key decodes Dorabella to noise.
