| 21 | 88 | On another paper there was what purported to be a list of tournament cities, and on another a list of names, of individuals supposedly noted for their craftsmanship in the skill and design of kaissa boards and pieces. |
| 21 | 89 | There were also, on other papers, numbered, too, the representations of boards. |
| 21 | 90 | Arranged in various ways on these boards were letters, sometimes beginning from a word, sometimes from a random, or seemingly random alignment of letters. |
| 21 | 91 | These were all, I took it, keys to kaissa ciphers of one level of complexity or another. |
| 21 | 92 | In a very simple case, for example, a given word, say, "Cibron," the name of a wood worker of Tabor, might occur. |
| 21 | 93 | This key, then, in a simple case, without variations, would presumably be used in the following manner: the deciphering individual would write "C-I-B-R-O-N" in the first six spaces at the top of a kaissa board, moving from left to right, then following with the other, unused letters of the alphabet, moving from right to left on the second line, and so on, as "the ox plows," as standard Gorean is written. |
| 21 | 94 | In this fashion each square of the board, with its name, such as "Ubar Five," and so on, would correspond to a letter, and some spaces, of course, would correspond to the same letter, thus providing cipher multiples. |
