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

Well, I disagree a little bit ...
You seem to presume that the VM letters are really just latin letters
slightly in disguise.
Mind you though that eg the kyrillian letter which looks like "n" has the
sound value "p". While a capital kyrillian "n" looks like a latin "H". So,
if the VM has russian roots, you're already completely off. Perhaps even
more so if it's greek. (Where "n" would sound "p", too, but "H" would be the
sound "e", IIRC.)
Furthermore, the EVA transcription only _vaguely_ represents letter shape.
In other words, I think you're on the wrong track.
