There is a very good English translation out which reproduces the alphabets from the English and French manuscripts.

To check this observations it may be useful to check glyphs rarely used one after the other.

For instance 'e' is common after 'k' and 't' but not after 'p' and 'f'. Words like 'peShol' and 'feeedy' are unusually rare whereas words like 'keeedy' and 'teeedy' are common for the VMS.

A second example is  that a gallow glyph following 'l' is most likely a glyph 'k' or 'f' but not a 't' or 'p'. An example for a word using 'lk' is 'olkchedy' and an example for a word using 'lp' is 'olpchedy'.

A third example is that 'o' is rarely used in front of 'i'. Therefore words like 'dain' are common but a word type like 'doin' is rare.

Another example is that a word with two gallows after each other is an exception within the VMS. The words 'otkchedy' and 'chpkcheos' are the only examples of this kind.

Indeed - this may betray part of the encoding mechanism. It is highly suspicious.

Or gallows could just be like capitals used word initially and at times to stress things. This would almost certainly mean that pre-gallow o- is something like an attached article.
