No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Four reasons why the numbers 8 and 4, this in its old form, can be present in the VM script:
 
1º  Of all the glyphs in the VM script, these are the least confusing: the glyph that looks like an 8 actually has the shape of an 8, and the one that looks like an old 4 also looks like it without any doubt.

2º No other glyph looks like a number except EVA-y which looks like the number 9. But in this case the glyph of the VM script usually has a longer tail than the number 9 that we see in manuscripts of the time.

3º The fact that we see precisely an 8 and a 4 and not any other number in the VM script reinforces the hypotheses that they are numbers, since we see in medieval Volvelles that they are united by their relationship with the hours of daily light in the zodiacal signs adjacent to the solstices.

4º This last reason is semantic. Since daylight hours are related to plant growth, these numbers make sense in a herbarium. Remember that in the summer solstice herbs have their greatest magical power.
