RE: VMs: one more way ... speculating wildly toward India

["Peter Riis" <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps to save you some time going off on a tangent--the
letter values of the transcription are arbitrary. One can't
really conclude anything from the resemblance of transcribed
words to words from another language. For example "chor"
could just as easily have been transcribed as "39%5". You
wouldn't say "%5" is a VMS-like ending. Since no one knows
how the language of the VMs sounds, there isn't really a
basis for judging phonetic resemblances. (Unless, of course,
I'm misunderstanding what you're doing.)

a nice point ... could be not, but also, could still be
despite all ... "ch"
could be also par example some of the gallows ... (also,
"chor" has the VMS-like
ending -or and a strange VMS-like beginning). Anyway, it is
written in
plaintext, this is a wild speculation. It means, if there
are just one useful
grain there, so it's nice. When just nothing, then it's
normal.
