Another way of putting it might be to say that unless the characters of
the EVA transcription chance to match the characters of the VMs script,
running an adaptive analysis on the EVA transcription per se involves
simultaneously discovering that words consist of syllables of the form
(C)CV and that many letters consist of a bow or a side stroke plus an
upright stem.
