Really? No one seems to have spotted so far that it conforms to the
orthography of BrScA and is pronounced: /aj"awma "fedigi "higi/
But as I've only so far discovered the phonology & orthography of BrScA,
its meaning still remains a mystery.
It seems odd that someone else has discovered more about BrScA than I have!
Maybe the perfect Form of BrScA is really there in some Platonic world of
true Forms :))
