Trying to fit keywords to the potential Kryptos Foursquare(s)

Harder than one would expect if this was how Kryptos was enciphered…

I’m not saying I didn’t find any but only could if you ignore the general rules for using a keyed alphabet, i.e. not repeating letters:

If you remember, my two possible orientations were the Foursquare after subtraction (L to R) and Foursquare after subtraction (R to L).

The Left to Right needs a 12+ letter word with Q (2nd) and Z (12th) in the bottom quadrant and a 16+ letter word with Z (16th) and V (5th) in the top right quadrant.

Non-specializing (too bad it’s a hypenated word) for a 12th Z
Colloquialize has the z in the right spot but q is wrong
Colloquializer is the same

Aquotization has a 2nd Q but the Z is 7th

The Right to Left needs a 16+ letter word with Q (5th) and Z (16th) in the bottom and a 12+ letter word with Z (12th) and V (2nd) in the top.

Tranquillization for a 5th Q but the Z is 11th
Antiquarianize has a 5th Q but the Z is 13th

Quintessentializing has a 16th Z, but alas, the q came first

Colloquialize has the z in the right spot but no v
Colloquializer is in the same boat

So it looks like Equestrianize was the only clear winner.  I’ll be honest though, with the Q, two Z’s and V where they are – it was an ugly proposition from the start.  If you take into mind how you normally fill these alphabets by putting the letter in the first time and omitting it any following times as you fill then none of these will work.

Oh well.  I’m 100% sure there is an additive and 95% sure there is no transposition but I think I need to reconsider things a little since this looks like a dead-end.
