Hmm. I am not sure what your train of thought is here. Yes, each of the
four gallows are made with two strokes. All the gallows start with a single
straight down stroke. Are you thinking then that this is the first character and
that the second stoke is the second charater? This is also true of the 4 in the
4o combination of characters, which in this case together may be formed
with as many as four strokes, one straight down and one loop to a horizontal
right for the four and then two strokes for the o.

Subject: VMs: VMS Decryption
I have been looking at the results of various tests that I ran
a while ago
on (YES AGAIN) the EVA. I have now come to a very interesting
conclusion.
That the EVA, instead of containing too many characters for
the
representation of actual glyphs, does not have enough. The double
legged
gallows are actually pairs of characters! There is a reason for
this
assumption which I won't bore you with now. However, the table and
partial
"decryption" to what I believed to be Italian has a major flaw in
it. If I
hadn't done this decryption test I would not have stumbled upon
the one
thing that I believe will truly make sense of ALL the statistics.
The next
time I post to the list I will be either eating a HUGE piece of
humble pie,
or I will be posting the first stage decryption of either plain
text, or at
least a method to retrieve any shorthand that might be there
according to
Nick. Wish me luck because I hate humble pie.
I'm going
outside now. I may be some
time.......
