Is there some way that messages from "qalam" could be identified in the
header? When I saw the improbable collocation of lexical items in the
header of the first message in this thread, I deleted it without opening
it because it was clearly a random-generator spam. (Then came replies
from the familiar names Everson and Cimarosti.)

BTW McManus in WWS says ogham "continued to be studied" down to the 17th
century -- that is, the tradition never died out and there was no
"decipherment."
