It's very easy to get Latin out of the VMS text. Very easy.
In Latin, all the letters with tails are abbreviations, the curve above the letter is an abbreviation, the number 9 at the beginnings and ends of words is an abbreviation and, in Latin, there is leeway in how they can be interpreted (the squiggle above the letter abbrev. can be er, re, ir, or ri, the 9 abbreviation can be con, com, cus, cum, sometimes rum, etc.—I've blogged and posted about this many times).
I just glanced at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. again and got this, in Latin, in just minutes, without much effort:
"and why he causes us"
and
"I am at and that will burden him..."
Looks like it might be working, right? I didn't take liberties with the text other than to expand a couple of the abbreviations with their accepted alternates. I used a consistent system.
Is it Latin?
If you see my original, you will see that one has to take a "soft" approach to Latin grammar and simply make sense of adjacent words, you will also start to see an unusual amount of repetition and lack of letter-placement flexibility, the longer the passages, so... until the Science20 "proposed solution" is revealed in detail (with the actual method used), it doesn't mean anything.
