well, for a 500yo manuscript of 200 pages any heavy "crypto machinery" becomes
pretty "expensive". Did they need it that much? I would like to start with
simpleman's solutions. I think, the answer cannot be too complicated, if it
really is that old. Anyway, since I got (via googling) some cheap "dairal" (Aber
was ist denn das? ... Keine Ahnung!) from Mongolia, so I prefere to stay inside
the former Mongol Empire.

After all, afaik the Mongolian grammar sometimes uses the ending "iin", final
"l" means something, too. So, I think, some mix of Tataric and Mongolian
dialects could structurally "do" for the VMS-language. Maybe just some Mongolian
dialect could be enough, I do not know. I think, in XVth century, some kind of
such a mix could be officially used in many parts of the disintegrating Mongol
Empire.

Could it be the time to act in a "botanically reasonable" manner, to look toward
the "Golden Mountain" or Altai; maybe also TianShan, Pamir, Tibet?
