The Standard International Morse Radio Code.
Consisting of dot and dash or really short and long keyed burst of carrier RF.
Dit and Daw
The Ogam code
For now I will only address the original four Acimi.
(Where the heck did that P come from?)
We have four symbols used along a vertical or horizontal reference line.
1) a left side or down half length mark
2) a right side or up half length mark.
3) a oblique or diagonal full length mark crossing reference line and equal length on both sides of it.
4) a short dash , dot or full length mark perpendicular to reference line.
Each of these symbols is used to encode 5 letters or phonograms of sound by using one to five of them for each letter in the Acimi or family.
the four symbols could be encoded in two binary bits.
1a) 00
2a) 01
3a) 10
4a) 11
The Morse code dot could = 0
And the Morse code dash = 1
Giving a two symbol code for each symbol of the Ogam Acime / families.
Requiring it to be repeated 1 to 5 times per Acimi letter position. For transmission in dot dash form.
While obviously a four sound or notes (Frequency, duration and or level) transmission would
be baud-rate more efficient. The two state binary code lends itself well to the simple More Code modulation method of hand keyed carrier signal on or off.
And allows us to have a easy way, to transmit Ogam Alphabet .
Of course again this also brings to mind acoustical transmission methods like Drum of Flute. And with Flute one could use four or five five tones plus duration encoding.
Pan Ogam anyone ?
And yes Acoustical (Drum,Flute etc) and Solar Mirror or Torch light encoding of Ogam messages could have been put to good use by the Druids of ancient times.
Where they, well I guess you will have to ask them. LOL
