Re: [jbovlaste] mifsle

Strictly speaking, the second place structure is for {selmifsle}, while the first is for {mifsle}. I don't think it would hurt for {mifsle} to have both meanings, do you? That said, it seems easy enough to coin both words: {mifsle} for block of a cipher, {selmifsle} for block of some plaintext. That's what I would do.

I'm pretty sure that in the genetic code, the amino acid is the plaintext, because amino acids do all the useful protein magic while codons just sit there in an easy-to-manipulate format.

I proposed this word for "codon", but it could also mean "block of a cipher".
Should the place structure be "x1 is the smallest ciphertext that can be
decrypted by x2" or "x1 is the smallest plaintext that can be encrypted by
x2"? In the genetic code, which is plaintext, the codon or the amino acid?
