	Please remember, Mart, that our transcription is just
that  - a transcription of the original glyphs into a
form convenient for computer analysis.  EVA /ch/ and
/dar/ weren't necessarily pronounced that way by the
VMs author, they just look that way to those using the
Latin alphabet.  One could just as well transcribe them
/ct/ and /8a2/ , which is just what Frogguy does.  Look
again at the original glyphs:

PS: Since you're the only one who knows Estonian, does
this say anything worthwhile?
