The table is composed of five-letter words reading downwards.
Retain the cyclic order of the letters but using the wraparound process
(ie, 1,2,3,4,5 → 2,3,4,5,1 or → 5,1,2,3,4) replace each given word with
an anagram (which is a valid word), and so determine a short message. |

(In reply to
The anagrams (Spoiler) by Dej Mar)
Dej Mar,
I have alfet, curre, escot and escar listed in my solution.
I think my source was compiled for "Scrabble" players in its very early years so the definitions may not be as accurate as you have given.
I really did expect you would have found "escar" since you always sem to come up with obscure words. Anyway it seems 'escar' is a glacial gravel ridge, beyond that I can help no further.
BTW I do like the layout of your solution.
