Morten St George Theory

I wouldn't say it was the same person who foliated the VMS and the SSM, even though they are very similar.

The handwriting in the SSM has consistently longer tails on the 9 and the 7, and the 2 is somewhat consistently flatter on the top. Not a big difference but enough to be fairly sure it's two different people.

Thanks JP. I've noticed the 9 tail myself, also the top of the SSM 5's tends to be more horizontal than those of the VMS. I will not spend excessive time on the SSM looking for answers that are probably not to be found there.

Essentially, the "gates" of the SY  constitute the pairing together of two letters, perhaps a consonant with a vowel or maybe two consonants. Info on how to do this is available and I will give some priority to that. The VMS may decode two letters at a time. That could explain why everything is pointing to the opposite side.
