"M" and "N" each begin eight state names. A, I, and W are only at the beginning of 4 states each.

"A" is represented by one dot and one dash, "J" is represented by one dot and three dashes, and "O" is represented by three dashes.

The code was later developed to allow operators to translate the dots and dashes that appeared on tape into text messages.
