When I was studying khipu, I invented a khipu-writing system based on phonetic English, to show that it is indeed possible to encode language in a form which looks similar to the khipu examples which have survived in museums. Since the text was written in (encoded) phonetic English, the text I chose to encode was, naturally: this poem. The generated khipu is at http://cscott.net/CSA107A.pdf...
