Re: VMs: Initial gallows

["Larry Roux" <LRoux@xxxxxxx>]

My theory is that line initial gallows are breaks - sentence and paragraph or idea breaks.  Or they are encryption/table scheme changes.  They should not be considered part of the word.  The first word on f1r "fachys" should be considered "f" (start) "achys"

Of course, this is my opinion....(but I am right <grin>)...

I am now leaning towards all gallows being separate - ie cphody would really be "p" chody - just put together for ornamentation purposes, but that is due to a few examples and gut guessing.

Hello,

I have noticed that out of all VMS pages, only a handful do not start with one 
of the four gallow characters. Making an analogy with English, for example, 
it is like we had a 200+ page book on which all pages started with, let's 
say, C, F, M or P. Not impossible, but sure it is strange.

Regards,
Marcio.
