[How can the results of any analysis be correctly interpreted with so many possible variants? The answer is through demonstration. Does the output of the chosen methodology produce a reasonable and viable result? Does the translation make sense? And are the results independently reproduceable?
Choice of language is a choice of methodology. It is only one side of the investigative dichotomy. The other part is the 'subject of investigation'. And for the VMs, while statistics are potentially helpful, it is also necessary to look at specific segments of the VMs text.
In the VMs, perhaps it is possible to assign a certain special quality to the circular texts. It's the last place someone would attempt to interpret the written text. The plants, the recipes and all that is investigated first. Perhaps circular texts are significant in another way. Perhaps some of them have been selected. Some of them are clearly marked with "Stolfi's" markers. And one of the markers connects to historical heraldry despite some intentional ambiguity. There is a set of different structural affirmations that supports this interpretation.
Among the examples of circular text, there are those that are marked and therefore might be more significant than others. This is an area where more light needs to shine. If there is a need to demonstrate the validity of a particular methodology, let it at least take into consideration the self-designated, circular text segments that have the potential to produce more significant results.]

Dear R. Sale,
In circular texts, there are words that are easily read and clearly understood, just as in all other pages and in the same proportion. In these sections, the author has created sentences again. So the only difference is that he wrote the paragraphs around circular lines. For this reason, I do not think that circular texts are any different compared to others in the way that you can understand what language the content is in. But of course we have to read them as other pages.
The ATA transcription we have will allow for this. All we have to do is to understand the abbreviations that appear in each sentence with the help of linguists.
Also, if the author has added some names and names in European languages to these sentences, then European researchers may be helpful in finding non-Turkish words.
Thanks
