which screams that the 'w' is a separator icon, not being present either first or last in the sequence. Assuming that then parse into 'words' :
NRNRNRNR
NNRNRNNRN
NNNRNNNNN
NNRNNRRNN
NNNRRNNRR
NNNRRNNRR
NNRRRNRNN
NNNRNNNNR
Our first 'word' here - RNRNRNR - rules out Morse as there is no such alternating sequence in Morse of dots & dashes. Significantly it has eight letters and the rest have nine. The last seven words have 'NN' at their beginnings and so suggests redundancy there also, conveniently leaving seven letters per word ie. representing ASCII ? Not directly - I tried that and got nothing with English sense. Perhaps that first 'word' is actually a bit mask for the rest, so cue choices of binary truth tables ....
The trouble is that the total semantic universe is not known. Now the code maker knows of course. What was discovered, by no less than Turing, is that there is a multiplicity of solutions for any given pattern in the absence of a decision about semantic bases eg. German. This could surprise many, including the codemaker themselves.
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Mind you, 'N' and 'R' do suggest 'normal' and 'reversed' ( a polite help/hint from the codemaker ) so maybe the first line is a cue for transposing the others. Sigh .... patterns .....
( edit ) Of course. The top line of characters and the rightmost characters of each word form the edges of an enclosed 7 by 8 matrix of binary elements. A given matrix entry will lie at the intersection of a row 'heading' and a column 'heading'. That matrix element must be modified in turn by said row and column headers along the lines of 'reversed' and 'normal' ie flip a bit or maintain a bit. 'N' with 'N' and 'R' with 'R' leaves the entry unchanged, 'N' with 'R' either way flips the bit. When this is done you'll have an ASCII encoding that makes sense within ie. a seven letter English word.
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Double post, I'll have that Bahama mama previously discussed. And since I mentioned, I'll have two!
And that right at the moment I'm thirsty, how nice!

I'll have a rum and coke.

Hi Annie !

White or dark rum Kathryn? Usually dark rum is drunk on its own, so I'll go for Bacardi.

Sorry, it's not that song nor any part of it.
And saying you'll leave the code cracking to smart people is like saying your not smart yourself.
But you can still leave the code cracking to others and be smart.

upside down backwards strike-through isn't a problem.
diagonal lines are.
