Thank you all for the additional insights. As it goes to scribal errors, what I see submitted makes me think of an overloaded quill. That said, if strike through and ink erasure was not developed, then obliteration would have used.
If the author was using a template and obsessive, each character would be an artwork in its own right. I would think that slant would correspond to speed, the more perfect themscript, the more deliberate the hand.
The pairing of text to plants or asterisms should be the Rosetta Stone of decipherment. Steven Bax thought so, as I recall, but it seems to not give much traction overall. If a poppy is drawn, the characters for poppy should be written several times near it. Then, of course it would be poppy in what tongue?
It takes me back to surmising that if the VM is authentic, the encryption protects the intellectual property of the practitioner/author. I do not imagine this person carrying both the document and a key simultaneously. That defeats obfuscation. So, as a,practical consideration, the key must be relatively simple.
