No, but it reminds me of 'Mercury Rising'- about an autistic savant. Perhaps you'll have an epiphany while staring at it.
We used the Navajo language in WWII. How thrillingly strange is that?

It doesn't seem to be simple numeric/alphabetic equivalence, because you usually start with articles and pronouns for that, and that doesn't seem to work, since it would seem that 5 would be A (or, less likely, I), which doesn't work for what would appear to be pronouns. You'd immediately think of THE for the first word, but that doesn't work either.

Cheers 'aary I tried those too.I wonder if it a transposing code.THE would seem the obvius first word but could also be a red herring.

And of course (duh) the third unit begins with 111. Are there any words with a triple run in Navajo?

Is there any connection between the numbers and the corresponding letters on a mobile phone?

Good one, peterm. Like the texting feature that chooses the "right" word, and so often gives you the wrong one.
