Re: VMs: labels as null syllable tables

[Dennis <tsalagi@xxxxxxxx>]

	Hello, Wayne,

	I don't have time to contribute much here, but a frequent 
thought on the labels has been that they are numbers or 
ordinals of some kind, like 'Figure A', 'Figure B', etc. 
How would that fit in with your thinking?  If you're going 
to work on the labels, that's certainly a hypothesis you 
should consider.

	A long time ago, Karl Kluge transcribed all the labels. 
This is included, I believe, in Stolfi's interlinear.  You 
could use Michael Winkelmann's Perl scripts to extract this.

	As for the faces, there has been much speculation about the 
'alchemical herbals', which could be related to the VMs. 
Philip Neal has material on these:
