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.
