Historical Context

[Ahmet Ardıç]

[To be specific I would like to know how many characters has the VM and how they form words. Are there fixed rules? If not, I would like to know the grade of ambiguity. There has been other tries with no fixed rules and the ambiguity allows a high range of interpretations.

EVA is like an alphabet, is the transcription of the indetermined characters, with a range of possible ones, as there is no consensus on which are the characters. It is a way too to computerize the characters and work with them.
The use the EVA to read VM texts or read directly the text in a literal way wont work in case of a chipered text.]

The best alphabet transcription that can be made is the one that will make the most words read. 
This transcription should ensure correct reading in every sentence on every page and the same letters should be read with the same sound value. 

If a transcription is to be made for the VM, it should be taken into account that the texts contain both syllable and simple sound (non-syllable but base phoneme and/or alphabet) characters. 
It is not possible to draw conclusions without mentioning and describing the syllable characters for sure. 

If someone is going to mention that there are no syllable characters in these texts, then that person should produce new phonetic-values with simple single sound equivalents for more than 100 alphabet signs in number. But 100 or more simple sounds are not seen in spoken languages. 

Syllable characters, on the other hand, are the adjoining versions of simple characters, and in this case, it is necessary to know how they are attached to each other. Moreover, the structure to be put forward should be a workable/valid structure for all syllable characters. Currently, there is only one transcription that provides what I said, and that is the tables we call ATA alphabet transcription.

With this transcription, we read about 700 words, more than 90 words that matched VM drawings in same pages, and around 100 complete sentences. These numbers were only discovered when we examined about 10% of this book in detail.

There is no need for consensus on alphabet characters. It is important that alphabet characters enable us to read texts. The rest are unnecessary details.

I don't think in English, Sorry for my broken English
