I'm not talking about Latin per se either, but about the system.
If 9 at the end means singular, it can also have the same function at the front. Single = 1 = one.
But if the 9 belongs directly to the word, it can take over another function. But you only know this when you know the whole system.
For me it is sure, if I separate the 9 from the word, the word makes sense. 75%.

I understand you are discussing a system, but if you use the Latin 9 at the end of tokens (which you are), then you must consider WHY the 9 abbreviation is different when it is at the beginning. It is because this translation of the 9 symbols does not occur at the beginnings of words in relation to the rest of the structure of the word. It means something different because common prefixes in natural languages are different from word endings. So "um" does not occur in the same proportion. Not in Latin, not in other Romance languages and not in Germanic languages. For that reason, it doesn't make much sense to turn 9 into "um" at the beginning of the word in this particular way.
Also, the 9 abbreviation in Latin is very flexible. It can be um, em, us, es. At the beginning it can be com, con, and a few others.
You are not using it in a flexible way, which means your translation of VMS tokens will be extremely repetitious throughout the VMS.
