The words of two letters headed by i we find to be if, in, is and it.

A more promising collection than the first.

One could easily start a phrase with any of these, even with any two of them such as If it, Is in, Is it, It is.

[] is then the symbol of i, and some one of the above named combinations forms the beginning of the short phrase ending with a word of three letters symbolized by V [-].< What word?
If my reasoning is correct up to this point, it should not be hard to determine.
First, one of these three symbols, the V, is a repetition of one of those we have already shown to be s, t, f, or n.

Of the remaining two, [-] <, one must be a vowel, that is, it must be either u, e, o, u, or y; i being already determined upon.
