OP The word "cwm" is extremely important, because it is in the sentence "Fjord bank cwm glyphs vext quiz.", which is the only sentence of which I know that makes sense, is without abbreviations, and uses every letter of the alphabet once each. Because of the shortage of vowels in the Roman alphabet applied to English, the use of "w" as a vowel is crucial. ("Vext" is an unusual past tense of "vex" (= puzzle or annoy) but recognized by Webster's dictionary. "Quiz" occurs here not in the usual sense, but meaning "eccentric person".)
Since fjords and cwms are both formed by glaciation, one would expect the one at the side of the other. Certainly, if I saw that someone had carved graffiti therein, I would be puzzled if I could not read it, and annoyed if I could. I am sometimes said to be eccentric.
