JP, I don't know if you saw my last post (a response to Linda) but I have conceded on this point. Your arguments did not convince me. What convinced me was a careful look around other parts of the Rosettes pages where I noticed crisscrossed lines in a non-tepee context as well as lots of little circles more so in the context of a funnel than lodging.
I'm currently viewing VMS pages written in the Currier Language B as initially written by the European migrants to the Americas and VMS pages written in the Currier Language A as written by native American converts making use of the VMS glyphs to represent their own language.
It remains an open question as to whether all of Language B represents the encoding of an Old World language. Beyond the recipes section containing the sacred text of their religion, there appears to little need to employ encoding which was surely a laborious task perhaps not worth the effort to protect material that didn't need protection. Upon copying the European drawings to conserve them, the accompanying text may have been converted into something understandable to the native Americans.
