[Article] Proposed solution by Gerard Chesire

[Koen G]

Apparently he's mostly focused on discovering the Italic language. This would explain why he doesn't seem to focus too much on the VM as a complete manuscript with text and illustrations.

Now I have the time, I attach my 'working lexicon' for the project. As yet it is incomplete and approximate, as it takes a great deal of time and effort to locate the words. The manuscript language has undergone memetic evolution over the past 450 years, so the spellings and definitions have altered within the various modern Romance languages. This means that degrees of freedom will exist until the lexicon is tightened up, which will happen gradually as the whole manuscript is processed. 

You will see that I have used marker words in the paper to objectively show that the symbols are correct. Therefore the corollary is that other words must be correct even if they require locating. Thus, it is case of detective work in order to find and define the vocabulary.

Please disseminate my paper and lexicon to all other scholars of Latin and the Romance languages, so that others can participate. Ultimately, the manuscript will have considerable linguistic and semiotic value I'm sure.
