(Corrected vowels and spelling: "The mile-long battlefield desert combat") Final proper piece (decoded and grammatically corrected): The mile-long battlefield desert combat
Given all — most plausible decryption: — lbt = about? 'a b o u t' → abt, but lbt could be “el-bee-tee” → LB T = "lob tomb"? But I think the cleanest proper piece is to rewrite it into standard English by reversing the cipher: If we assume the cipher is: remove all vowels except 'y' can be 'i' or 'e', 'z' = s, 'kw' = c, 'bt' = tt?
Original: "The mobile battle field desert combat" Ciphered: thmyl lbt batl fyld dyzrt kwmbat — wait, mobile = m o b i l e → mbl → "mbl", not “lbt”. So no. thmyl lbt batl fyld dyzrt kwmbat
Could lbt = "lobbed" (l o b b e d) → l b t? If last d=t? Lobbed = thrown.
But maybe lbt = "but" (b u t) — "the mile but battle field desert combat" — doesn’t work. Original: "The mobile battle field desert combat" Ciphered:
Given typical ciphers: This is just English with all vowels removed except 'y' sometimes used as vowel, plus 'z' = s, 'k' = c, 'w' used for 'c' in "kwmbat" (combat).
Another try: = "the mobile" ?? thmyl = the mile; lbt = "light" but b = igh? no. If last d=t
But more likely “thmyl” = "the mill" — (th e m i ll) → thmyl (y=i)
