This may not be easy to prove...

One argument I can think of is precisely in the pseudo spaces.
In Arabic some of the spaces are real word spaces and the rest
of them break words in two (or more) parts. If this were 
also happening in the VMs, then we should see more labels which
consist of two words (or more). There are some, but not many.
Mainly for that reason I personally think that the word spaces
are for real.

But Greek also has 'eu' and 'au'. Now, Czech...
