Abstract
A [6,3,4] code E6 over an Abelian group A4 with four elements is presented. E6 is cyclic, unlike the [6,3,4] hexacode H6 over GF(4) However, E6 and H6, are isomorphic when the latter is viewed as a group code. Differences and similarities between E6 and H6 are discussed. A dual code of E6 is presented. Some binary codes, among them the [24,12,8]Golay, are derived with the aid of E6. A related cyclic [4,2,3] code E*4 is applied to construct the Nordstrom-Rohinson code. E6 is the smallest member of a class of [2k, k, 4] cyclic and reversible codes over A4. Another class of cyclic and reversible codes of length 2ℓ + 1 ; ℓ ≥ 2 and minimum distance 3 over A4 is also presented.
