 Hey, now I have something to blame - that's why I could not get anywhere!
:-). But seriously - I did compare the "letter" frequency of the VM
transcript (EVA)  with letter frequency of

closer to the VM frequency than I ever expected. I also gave it to my
colleague in  Germany to recalculate it independently, but he got the same
results. We can also see that the medieval  English - or few other languages
I tried  - are far off  - again in the area where it counts most.

Stick with it! Don't ask just take my word for it.

> Mind you, it was letter frequency,  not word frequency, which of course
lead our linguists to look for unknown language :-). Now our observation
would point to either monoalphabetic substitution cipher, OR transposition
cipher (even multiple) OR the  combination of both. I think we gave up Latin
too easy,
