t (20) → q (17) t → q b (2) → y (25) y (25) → v (22) q (17) → n (14) → — no.

Given the simplicity, , producing ggold zfnels zuxe — possibly a name (Gold? Zfnels? Zuxe?). But perhaps “zfnels” is meant to be “sfinels” → “spinels” (gemstone) if we fix typos.

t (20) → g (7) t → g b (2) → o (15) y (25) → l (12) q (17) → d (4) So "ttbyq" →

I notice "mhkr" — if ROT13 → not obvious.
