The central line denotes, in manuscript, a drawn
line, and in stone or wood, the line formed by a
corner or edge.
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
