Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to encrypt using Louchébem cipher?
Encryption replaces the words by changing them applying successively some rules:
— Move the first consonant or syllable in the end of the word.
Example: BOUCHER becomes OUCHERB
— Insert the letter L at the beginning of the word
Example: OUCHERB becomes LOUCHERB
— Add a syllable slang at the end, usually -ji, -oc, -euil, -uche, -ès, or -em
Example: LOUCHERB becomes for example LOUCHERBEM
As the language of butchers is primarily a spoken language it allows many simplifications
Example: LOUCHERBEM was shortened to LOUCHEBEM (phonetically)
