One of the key points of the VMS script is the relationship between (o), (a) and (9). The glyphs (a) and (9) as we know have a complementary distribution. In a comment to Emma's post about her transformation theory, Koen wrote:"when an (a) is in a certain position it gets a long tail and become a (9), EVA-y".
Let's no forget thant Currier thought that (a) could be an (o) with a little tail.
Some think that (o), (a) and (9) can be vowels of a language. I respect this opinion, but I don't believe in a linguistic solution.
What I think is that these glyphs have an astronomical meaning. An (o) can be a certain degree of the celestial sphere and it gets a long or a little tail to become a star depending on whether it is near or far from the ecliptic.
For me the VMS script is nothing more than a catalog of stars. And nothing less.
