Janta,

Recently read this book called "Cryptonomicon". Surely
a beauty if you are in cyberpunk kind of literature,
elaborates quite a bit on the geek philosophy/way of
life. Part of the book is about the WW2 crypto war.
Along the lines of the American cipher based on Navajo
wind-talkers, Brits had one with Qwghlm .... yes thats
a language. PYRQZQUL actually means "the sheep that
got away" in Qwghlm.
It cannot possibly be Egyptian because they don't have
a "u" sound in heiroglyphish. So the only wish that
would be granted would have to something with a sheep
.. a New Zealander can tell you all about it :-).
