<p>My first reaction is that your man's having a laugh! Slowly drip-feeding responses to questions we've already posed. But because it's annoying (me) I looked again.</p>

<p>Comprehensive key search using the Caesar cipher (because it's now possible that this is what it was) on the word that we've been given:</p>

<p>Note: Assumption that the original plain text was written using Latin alphabet where J's are written as I's, all U's are written as V's and W is non-existent meaning that modulo 23 is used. This also neatly resolves the problems I posed with the 224 and 225 patterns.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any Latin speakers out there? I don't recognise anything like a word in this lot.</p>
