The SpecGram Puzzle Elves™

The solution to last issue’s PhonoDokuneticsTriple Mini LingDoku is given here. A number of intrepid puzzlers were able to solve the puzzle with the meager information given, but Dr. ber Sarkur wanted more than logical assurances, and soafter coincidentally winning the $47M jackpot in the Lower Louisiana Linguistic Lottery (winning phonemes: , ɱ̊, q͡p, ɞ, , ŋǂ)he invested heavily in having his former grad student’s notes analyzed using ultraviolet fluoroscopy, macro x-ray fluoroscopy, gamma-ray burst fluoroscopy, multispectral imagining, hyperspectral imaging, überspectral imaging, intern-entrails fluoroscopy, intern-sacrifice ouijaography, etc. The composite image which emerged from the various imaginoscopies is the one we chose to use for the solution.

Despite Ulfheðnar’s lack of confidence in SpecGram’s puzzle-solving corps, the following puzzlemeisters have achieved everlasting glory!
