Re: VMs: cross space links



Hello  Marke,

did you consider their use as nulls? Say "dy" for ending, "qo" for starting the "word"? Could you investigate how many times are those two tokens used in other  positions in VM words? If they are nulls, then of course they could be used for encoding of meaningfull text as well as for gibberish. I doubt  if such frequent occurence in so  many pairs of words  woud indicate any  grammatical rules (namely between prefixes and  suffixes). 
Regards,

jan
