The possibility of dialectical variation should be obvious. The author is going to make the linguistic choices. Then it's up to the reader to figure things out. In the VMs there are two initial obstacles: glyph interpretation and language choice.
Clearly these two can be and have been melded together to 'find' words from VMs vords. And now there are paragraphs of text that possess coherent content. Though the examples of glyph interpretation may not be reproducible by other investigations.
Vords are too short. The text segment is not significant. Are there other parts and places to look where the text might be more significant? Not just a random selection, but something that is in some way unusual. There are Stolfi's markers.
Besides glyph interpretation and language choice, another option is the potential comparison with examples from known texts. Comparison could be either related to page-based or line-based structures. Specific line segments of VMs text are designated by Stolfi's markers. Is there purpose behind these structures, or is it just pointless? The illustrations clearly point to trickery. What could that mean for the text?
