FWIW, in re: this discussion, my guiding principal was that if the
original author of this work thought that a child could, for example,
distinguish between a sparrow and a pigeon, then there is no reason
for us, 150 years later, to second guess that. There is nothing
inherently harder about "cipnrsparau" over "cipni". Similarly for
simplifying things that the author didn't, e.g. "George is working"
instead of "George is making hay".
