I suppose the identification of the VM glyphs is the most important starting point, whether one regards the writing as a code or as a natural language. Comparing the glyphs with the letters-forms in different manuscripts and different languages is the second step. When I did that, I got the confirmation for EVA a, c, d, e, i, l, o, r. s, ch, y. There are plenty of words that can be composed from these letters alone, not only in Slovenian, but in other languages as well. The changes to the EVA alphabet enabled me to find more similarly spelled words without relying on the Google translator that makes its own assumptions and does not recognize Slovenian medieval language.
While I was searching for the medieval spelling of Slovenian words, I had to use the dictionaries that list Latin in/or German words first. This enabled me to see similarly spelled words in Latin, German, Italian, Croatian and Slovenian. If I was able to notice over 100 Slovenian words spelled exactly the same (letter-to-letter substitution), I would have noticed Latin or German as well. I cannot say that there were none, but there was far less of them.
While the Latin 9-shape letter was used in the manuscript abbreviations either at the beginning or the end of the words, the similar shape was also used for the letter g which in Czech was pronounced as j /y. Therefore the assumption that the language is some kind of Latin abbreviation needs to be supported by other undisputable facts.
