Wrap your lunch in tinfoil, put a bit of masking tape on it, and write
down what it is.

"vaigus"
"seikaix"
"koimmai"

While it may seem obvious upon further examination, the fact that the
orientation isn't immediately obvious without reading gives us a bit
of trouble. It becomes especially bad for names. I wote down my name
on my sandwich and zaimc's name on his, but realised something:

".gnoidkai."
".ftzi."

It takes a second, but there's still only one way to read it, right?
What if I just initial stuff? Paul might accidentally get my sandwich
and I his.

Ideas are certainly welcome.


Lindar, I must have missed something. I wrote {vaigus}, {seikaix}, {gnoidkai} and {ftzi} and they all seems different and uniquely readable to me (see attached picture).

I understood that the first grid has all the sides more or less equal, the second grid has one of the sides prolonged or decorated and the third is dotted (or to be included in the the previous consonant). Am I doing something wrong?
