Syllabification

[-JKP-]

...  The point is that the script was clearly devised by someone who knew how to write Latin, a point which I'm not sure if you're actually disputing, or if you're just trying to nitpick.

The script was clearly devised by someone who was familiar with Latin scribal conventions.

• As in Latin, the "9" char is usually at the end, sometimes at the beginning, and only occasionally elsewhere.
  
• As in Latin, the Eva-s are Eva-r are sometimes in a longer word and sometimes alone, between words. Even though single chars are otherwise uncommon in the VMS, these two shapes behave more-or-less as they do in Latin.
  
• As in Latin, the shape that looks like a bench is sometimes broken into two shapes that stand alone.
  
• As in Latin, the terminal shape in a word-token sometimes has a tail stretching up and back over the last glyph.
  

But, the script does not otherwise behave like Latin. While the variability of the letters may match or be similar to a number of natural languages in a purely numeric sense, the problem is that the VMS imposes strict rules on the position of letters in a word that are different from most natural languages, including Latin and most Germanic languages. Which makes me wonder whether the Latin conventions are used to represent similar conventions in a language of a less variable structure or, if they were added to make it superficially look like Latin (as a ruse or as a comfortable way to write something less familiar in a familiar system).
