Re: VMs: RE: a and b (and a personal guess)



Here's another personal guess, to further embellish a point I made in my last letter. After mentioning the 'twins' thing, I've just been looking up some information about the development of twins' language, handwriting etc, and it does seem a scientific fact that not only can twins develop their own languages, but their handwriting can develop very similar traits. Is there a possibility that the MS could be written by twins, and the A and B languages within are merely their own variations on a theme? If one of the main differences is the alternating 'ody' and 'edy' endings of some words, could they just be each person's individual 'dialect' of a personal language?

Cheers,

Martin

if we let this out of possible cipher and consider it as a suffix (or suffix-like zero BS), does it not seem a quite Slavic feature?
