*Translating this piece turned out to be the most challenging task for this issue of the journal. The poem is a rebus, and our editorial team decided to place the code in the „text fragment” section rather than on the subpage containing the poem itself. This choice was intended to add variety and make solving the puzzle more difficult, but it also complicates the translation process. Another challenge lies in the difference between the original code and its English adaptation – certain sounds present in the Polish version are not used in English. For these reasons, English-speaking readers will have a slight advantage over those navigating between pages in Polish. Due to the constraints of the English-language version of the page, we have to include the code here:

SCRABBLE Values:
1 → e, o, a, i, r, z, n, w, s
2 → k, m, p, d, t, c, l, y
3 → u, j, h, b, g
4 →
5 → f, ee
6 → v
7 → ae
8 →
9 → x

Finally, the poem in its „solved” form contains neologisms and specific phrases, for which I adopted the approach of „not multiplying entities beyond necessity”, thereby limiting an already lengthy footnote. For this reason, I replaced certain expressions with conventional phrases, slightly reducing the complexity of the text [translator’s note].
