Norse Bluetooth Text Messaging Numerals

FVDRISTBLOE is how it would look if we wanted to 'go Runic' where VOEOEL=2009
but Hey!, yah know...we think it should go this way in ROMAN LETTERING....

I really prefer this one I made up sometime back... BDGJOPRSUOE (all capital letters!)

thus we have BUOOE for 1950 and ORPR for 5767, ROD=752, SPOER=8607, and soforth.

Should look way cool on your BlUetOOth when you TEXT MESSAGE and all that...

Ciao!

NORWEGIAN PRIME NUMBER CODE

Casey Farrell, industrial designer (BIG STAR) March 31, 2009

This is in response to a very interesting story I just read in my copy of ESRI-Spring 2009
http://www.esri.com/arcnews Arc News; Vol. 31 No.1 which is on Page 35-

"......in a Norwegian County" by Ragnhild Vognild

which got me to thinking about how one might 'Twitter' the REGION via the MAP using PRIME
NUMBERS for the 24-LETTER Scandinavian Alphabet we use in Norway, Sweden, & Denmark.

Also the front page of this issue has a National Geographic Magazine article "Geopgraphic Literacy in U.S. by 2025" by Daniel C. Edelson, V.P. for Education; Nat. Geo. Society. Something called 'Geo Learning' we could also ally to the term "LOCALISATION" of which I am about to give an example here and now-

"AE E I A"

11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 50
A B D E F G H I J K L M
N O P R S T U V Y AE OE AA
53 59 60 61 67 70 71 73 79 83 89 97


So, then the TITLE can be either rendered in the "SUBSTITUTION CODE" (AE E I A)
as "K R V N" or as PRIME NUMBERS (two-digit) as corresponds w/ each letter;

"83 19 37 11". Maybe this system could be used as a 'reverse cartography' for REFERENCE.

For the letters C,Q,W,X, & Z these are represented by letters K,G,V,OE,& S, respectively
while the combination 'QU' in this sytem is represented by our combination "KV". One note:
The use of OE for X is a unique representation in any transliteration scheme, but it works!
