Hi Spanish speaking folks, Though I haven't worked with it much, I have also seen some somewhat contracted Spanish Braille. It seemed that there were three letter contractions for certain words ETC. I don't have it any more, so I can't look it up, but I am almost sure it was used in the Spanish Bible put out by Lutheran Braille Workers.
