I disagree with Tamás. I don't understand, what's the problem about "missing"
20 characters. The 108 characters are more, than for texts written in rovás
required. Widely less characters are used. (See downloadable e-books from
http://mek.oszk.hu page. Look it up in the "title" keyword Rovásírással.)
