Syllabification

[-JKP-]

JKP: It can stand for a concept. It doesn't have to stand for a word.

What's the difference? Could you please provide an example? In a language, are not concepts conveyed with words?

Writing words like hut, puppy, etc., is a different linguistic system from writing house-small-fuzzy or dog-small-fuzzy. Many Asian languages work like this, as do some of the very old European languages, concept-modifier, concept-modifier.

Sometimes the modifier is a different vowel, as in old Hebrew, sometimes the modifier is a radical (character), as in some east-Asian scripts. Sometimes the modifier is a shape or syllable attached to the main concept as in some of the Malaysian languages.

It's my opinion that the VMS "language" if such a thing exists, has more in common with this kind of system than with a language like English. That's how a label in the astrological section can conceivably be the same as a label in the small-plants section, especially if some of the "root" syllables or modifiers encompass a verb or state of being.


Also... for the record... I've mentioned this before, but it's possible the system for the labels differs (or differs somewhat) from the system used for the main text.
