Sample: literally spelled "Locksley:" .. IIII \ IIII \\\\ II \ IIII II IIII \\\\
phonetically spelled (better way) "Locksley:" .. \ \\\\ II \ IIII II \\\\
in actual period usage, Ogham was written and read from right to left, much like Arabic, thus, a more "period-correct" would be: \\\\ \ .. \\\\ II IIII \ II
