Could o_t_o_l indicate the VMS is BS

[coded]

A solution that has been proposed before is that words like these may refer to properties rather than nouns or names. For example, 'hot'.

Also words have many meanings, usually related but at times completely different. English 'ball' can be a football or a formal dance party. A party can be a fun event or a group of people as in a search party. A foot can be the thing you walk on or a unit of measurement. A unit can be one item or a group of people, like in the army. And so on.

Thanks Koen,

Well now I think hot maybe the answer here as in hot pipes, hot plant, hot star, hot for fire.  Poison oak, which I have had does cause a hot itchy rash.  So maybe this post was not a waste, but perhaps a new beginning for me thanks so much.
