It was immediately obvious that the kind had learned the names of=the letters and was spontaneously stringing them together to express himse=f in writing. And making interesting generalizations. Thus the=letter "A", pronounced /ey/, he used for the words "came,&q=ot; "pet", "pat"; the letter "i", pronounced=/ay/, he used for "pie", "pot," "butt" . And=so on. It all made sense.
