Which letters do you see, or think you might see?

To lower the barriers and help you decipher the characters and abbreviations you may encounter, we have listed a selection of stripped down transliterations. Each transliteration will give you at least one example.

They are stripped down in that they tend to consist of letters and other, usually keyboard-friendly characters only, without any of the graphs that are potentially unfamiliar to you (such as suspension strokes). For example, you can make out a c and d but have no clue what else is tagged on to them. Click on cd to view one possibility. On the odd occasion, we have replaced characters with similar-looking (but by no means identical) ones, such as 3 for what is, in reality, a digraph for -que in Latin.
