Re: VMs: Currier A and B

Hi GC,

Excellent page, thanks! :-)  For my own current set of ideas, it really 
makes a lot of things clearly visible - for example, I think what you may 
actually be observing here is the structure of word endings (with -dy 
attached) as I think that <dy> mostly functions as a standalone word in its 
own right.

What, then, to make of all the -ody words here? This (-o, quite apart from 
<qo>) looks like another type of word ending modifier (which the encode is 
trying to hide from view by placing in the middle of [fake] VMS words), to 
add to the <-e> and <-ee> groups.

In fact, you might well characterise a typical word ending of the type I'm 
describing as typically being placed *inside* a VMS word and having the form:-

        (-/ch/sh) + (-/e/ee) + (o)

This seems to capture many of the occasions where my general pairification 
tends to lead to an otherwise unconnected "o" glyph: note that this is 
independent of following pairs like <oe>, <or> etc.

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
