It fascinates me that this site includes so many concepts that are essentially the same as in medieval Latin scripts.

For example, their interpretation of EVA-sh as a ligature starting with c and ending with r or c, with an apostrophe in between, is exactly the same process that is used to read Latin abbreviations, and even uses most of the same letters:



In Latin, this very common ligature can be read as cer, c'r (with more letters in between), cet, cert, ci, and anything that looks like c, r or old-style t with letters in between (the "cap" is an apostrophe symbol in Latin that can be one or more characters). It's the exact same concept.

Hi,

Use of Abbreviations:
Another one of the most significant syntax choices that the author made was demonstrated through occasional use of abbreviations all throughout the manuscript. The alphabet that the author used contains abbreviations that both have phonetic and numerological value. A close example to demonstrate the concept in English would be the use of abbreviation to express statements like “for you” as “4U”. Phonetically they sound the same, and similarly to this concept, the author of the manuscript uses numerical values alongside letters to create words and apply specific syntax, yet unlike the intentional use of abbreviations (like in the English “4U” example), the author uses the abbreviations as part of the alphabet itself. For example, the number “8” is called “sekiz”, and the symbol of “8” would both convey the numerical value of eight and also can be used as part of the alphabet to convey the phonetic sound of “se”. More information regarding the nature of letters and numbers can be found in the appendix.

Thanks,
