Lingua Volgare Shorthand

[ginocaspari]

Finally an article with references!
If I understood correctly, you determined your alphabet from two words? Your vocabulary file is not easy to consult, you added the words in EVA?

P.S. I would like to know, in German universities, do you place the methods just after the conclusions?

Dear Ruby Novacna

The words you refer to in the main article were merely a starting hypothesis which is then further elaborated. Please refer to the main article, namely Table 1 for the transcription mechanism. We do not use EVA for transcription as we exclusively worked based on the manuscript. The oversplitting/undersplitting of EVA has its own pitfalls and a fixed transcription ultimately disregards some of the ambiguity of the original glyphs in the manuscript. Note that all 400+ words we propose in the vocabulary list are consistent with the presented solution. It therefore matters little from what words you start. Of course, there are a significant number of words that are contracted (as to be expected in a shorthand text) and these contractions introduce ambiguity. You find some of the clearest word examples in the main article.

P.S. Methods after conclusions is a format for some journals of the Springer Publishing Group.
