[Blog Post] Peter Bakker on the VMS

[nickpelling]

It's far from obvious to me that we can, with the current state of our knowledge, map between even Herbal-B and Q20-ese, let alone between A and B.

So I remain somewhat unconvinced by the idea of trivially mapping any part of the VMs to a real-world language en masse.

Having said that, I still think there's good reason to suspect that EVA ch maps to plaintext u/v (and that strike-through gallows are merely concealing consonant followed by u, nothing more complex than that), so I remain optimistic that progress can be made, albeit slowly.
