Cvetka's Slovenian Theory Thread

@tavie - All good points. And as others have said; a solution needs to be reproducible and it needs to make sense.

Reproducibility is not the problem. The problem is in the basis for the solution. Does the basis for the solution derive from  a reading of some version of an EVA 'transcription'? *Reading* EVA into some form of linguistic output is apparently not too difficult for certain persons. It's fairly easy to start dealing with 'pronunciations'. The problem lies in considering the EVA to be a transcription in the first place. More properly it could be called a transposition. EVA is a system for the transposition of VMs glyphs to a 'QWERTY' keyboard. This was done on the basis of shape, to aid memory, as I understand it, and without any prior knowledge of any other potential alphabetic, phonetic, or numerical states of correspondence to the particular keyboard letters selected. Therefore, *reading* EVA is problematic and that seems to be the case in various recent and not so recently proposed linguistic interpretations /solutions.
