From "decryption" to "translation"

[geoffreycaveney]

It is of great interest whether there are inflexions in the VMS or there are none. I wonder if any method can be proposed to investigate that.

I strongly suspect that there are. For example, the suffix [-in] is very common in the ms, but it is almost entirely absent in any of the labels in the ms. This suggests to me that the suffix [-in] represents some type of inflexion that does not tend to occur in simple nominative case noun forms that tend to occur in labels of names of things.
