In alchemical symbology, EVA-T (capitalized, with the horizontal line through it) means to mix well.
In a way, the VMS reminds me of the substitution code in the alchemical manuscript we've been discussing on the other thread. Pretty much all the symbols in that cipher were taken from astrology/constellation symbols.
The VMS glyphs are mostly Latin and Greek letters and abbreviations, but the ones that are not, the few that don't appear to originate from Latin or Greek, fit well with alchemical symbols.
That does not mean, however, that meaning is attached to shape. It seems unlikely that 89 attached to the ends of thousands of words means to add salt. I've read enough herbal manuscripts in a variety of languages to know that salt is mentioned, but not frequently.
