How often do impacts from that direction happen, compared to impacts from visible trajectories?

When determining the potential threat of a NEA, is the mass of an object a bigger factor or size? I'm asking because I'm curious if a small but massive object (say, with the density of Psyche) could survive atmospheric entry better than a comparatively larger but less massive object.

There's been a lot of statistical research on letter distribution, entropy etc. that are very odd. Given the strange mixture of arabic/european influences, how likely is a transliteration of a creole/pidgin/lingua franca from your point of view?

Reduplication was actually one cause (along with the cultural aspects) to make me think of pidgin, which tends to do that a lot ;) Thanks for your answers!

I'm sure you have tried to apply your results to other in-text combinations of the glyphs you may have identified (well, I tried simple substitution on a few, not that it told me something). It still feels irritating because of the repetitions. Have you chanced on something worthwhile/other candidates yet?
