Elmar,Couldn't you come up with similar mappings for the latin alphabet? "i", "n" and "m" seem to be variations of each other, "f", "t" and "l" form a group, as do "e", "c" and "o", and "b", "d" and "k"... ;-) Elmar I agree with your observation. My only point to what Jan posted to the above link was just a thought for discussion. Possibly, by analyzing the structure of the typography of the VMS letters, we can reveal some element of the thought process involved in creating it. Since, some of the VMS letters have no direct correlation to known languages, is there a reason to the invented forms or was it pure imagination? I dunno? Ken W |
