Nope, nothing. I think few of us have tweeted them yesterday and today, but no response. Hopefully we get something today.

T6 could be Twelve Tables (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tables)
A6 could be Aeneid, an epic poem with 12 books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid)

[The Grim Axel]

I'm thinking that the First letter, length format is probably right. (At least it feels right.)

T6 could also be the 12 Tribes of Israel. Seeing as The Servant himself alluded to them, I would say it's most likely the tribes.

[Elethamei]

True, it's probably the Tribes.

L7 - Labours of Hercules?

[wastedtime]

I can see these being pretty sporadic suggestions across a lot of posts, so i thought I'd try and compile all the ideas here to make it a bit easier? I'm just chucking everything that comes up in here, not trying to suggest these are the definitive answers:

A8 - Apostles or archangels
A10 - Adventures of Odysseus
J5 - Sons of Jacob
C8 - Calendar months
A7 - Zodiac animals
K7 - Knights of the round table
T6 - Tribes of Israel or tables of roman law
S5 - Signs of the zodiac or steps to recovery
L7 - Labours of Hercules
A6 - Books of Aeneid or days of advent
M6 - Months in a year
N6 - Cranial nerves

[Yerushalmi]

I say T6 is tables, not tribes, since the tribes and the sons of Jacobs are pretty much identical (there's a bit of weirdness going on with Levi and Joseph's sons, but otherwise they're the same).

[GuestUser17]

A10 may be 12 Adventures of Odysseus
