Creation and Usage Notes

The idea here was that words like "mother" and "father" would be replaced with code words so that an enemy who might overhear wouldn't understand what was being discussed. The code was simple: number one was mother (nomon); number two was father (nontu); number three was daughter (nomfri); and number four was son (nomfa). -David J.
