Derek Vogt's approach of using starter words (proper nouns) to get phonetic values of characters seemed to be the best theory on the whole, but that tedious work leading to nowhere is depressing, especially since his theory predicted the name of the dragon of the eclipse correctly.
Or maybe the writing system is flawed in such a way that you only understand what's written with some subjective interpretation from someone who knew all the caveats of the system (like some letters having multiple phonetic values, some having unidentifiable ones, omitted initial consonants, implied letters with no charachter to mark them,etc), as well as an idea about the underlying language, and the chance of us getting that right is infinitesimaly small
I thought of translating according to his phonetic values, but that lead to things like a four letter word having 72 possible results (6 each for the EVA a charachters, and 2 for EVA y) and then I stopped
