It can't be reversable, as my little English = CIBARA demonstration
showed. The only way to make a reversable algorithm would be
to abandon the principle of phonetic internal ordering.

No Real World document is going to make sense read both ways.
It will make sense one way, thus: "BARA-LA AW MALSI-AL mean
the Arabs and Islam respectively". The other order will make
no sense at all.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
