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

[Dennis <tsalagi@xxxxxxxx>]

	Everyone should remember that the EVA transcriptions are 
simply convenient and easy-to-remember ways to get the VMs 
text into a form that computers can analyze!  EVA was also 
designed to use only letters and therefore to be somewhat 
pronounceable.  I don't think Gabriel and Rene meant that 
EVA /ch/ is to be pronounced like English /ch/ . 
Also remember that EVA /d/ looks much more like an 8 than a 
Latin d .   So I think that looking for natural-language 
words pronounced like an English-speaker would try to 
pronounce EVA Voynichese is missing the mark.
