So maybe last word is not ‘ender’ but ‘endet’ is nonsense. So my a=e guess fails unless asdar ≠ ‘ender’. Let’s try asdar = ‘after’? a=e? No, ‘after’ has f. So maybe a is not e.
Check earlier wyak with a=e, k=a, so wy e a = wy e a . If w→w, y→h, then w h e a = ‘whea’? ‘whe a’? ‘when’? Needs n. Possibly y→h, then wyak = w h e a → ‘whea’? Actually if y→h, w→w, a=e, k=a → ‘w h e a’ — could be ‘whe a’ for ‘wheat’? Missing t.
‘a’ appears 4 times, likely ‘e’ in plaintext. So a→e. Let’s try: ttbyq wyak mhkr akhr asdar Replace a with e: ttbyq wyek mhkr ekhr esder ttbyq wyak mhkr akhr asdar
ttbyq shifting backward by 1: ssaxp (not English). Try Atbash (A↔Z, B↔Y, etc.):
Now Atbash on qybtt : q→j, y→b, b→y, t→g, t→g → jbygg (no). So maybe last word is not ‘ender’ but
Last word asdar = e s d e r = e n d e r = ‘ender’ works if s=n, d=d, r=t? But r=t we had, but ender last letter r→t would be ‘endet’ no — contradiction: asdar last letter r=t, so asdar = e s d e t → ‘ensed’ or ‘ended’? s=n gives ‘ended’! Yes! So r→t (endet?) Wait: asdar: a=e, s=n, d=d, a=e, r=t → e n d e t — ‘endet’? Not a word. Unless last r=?? Perhaps r should be r? Then asdar = e n d e r = ‘ender’ (as in Ender’s Game). But r earlier had to = t for akhr = earth .
Let’s guess ttbyq = there : t→t shift 0 t→h? no, t=19, h=7 → shift -12 or +14? Better to try key guessing. Not getting clear pattern quickly. Check earlier wyak with a=e, k=a, so wy e a = wy e a
Given the ambiguity, I'll stop here. If this is a puzzle from a known set, the answer is likely scrambled differently.
