Hi MarcoP,
first, thank you for your answer!
Why do you think, that American languages are nearly impossible and what do you mean by "American languages"? Only indigenous languages?
The reduplication is a big problem for analysists of the VMS. It makes it nearly impossible to find a language that matches with that phenomenon. But I´m also thinking, that these phenomenon could help us to find sentences in the VMS. You know, there is no punctuation.
I don´t know, if it where 200 years between Rudolf and the creation of the VMS. Personally I think that there are only 140 years between both. At maximum 165 years.
