what's nice about this: Once you know that Spatium = Space, you
can scan through for keywords that transliterate well into a
language that you know better and comprehend the entirety of the
text from a "all at once in chunks" perspective.
Also, knowing that this is a modern article, the knowledge
within it will likely correspond to modern knowledge, so you can
use what you already know about "space" to fill it in even
further - and THEN fill in the missing parts.
