No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Exactly! This similarity with the Latin or any language is what have always baffled the researchers. The scribe, of course, was an educated and trained man. He knew to write Latin and all the scribal conventions. That is the reason by wich when he was writing the string of glyphs he did some of them with the shape of letters.
  With regard the number 9, it's not positioned in a word or sentence. It's positioned in a string of glyphs, no letters. 
Is it the 8 a letter too? Is it 8 an abbreviation of a letter? I don't think so. I think is simply the number 8. I also think that the glyph with the tie shape, the l in EVA alphabet, is the old number 4 and indicates a position in the Ecliptic.
