Quote:I have no idea, but as far as I remember, splitting 'a' into 'ei' (I think it's 'ei' rather than 'ci', since there is no bar)You are of course right that it would be "ei" and not "ci" in EVA transcription. I must always remember that what looks like "c" is in EVA "e"
Quote:If you replace all instances of "a" with "ci" the already struggling character entropy drops even further.Yes, but it will become even more similar to Roman numerals. Maybe it is the right trail???
Take the most common word "daiin". If we assume that:
- "a" is "ei"
- "n" is a last, ornate "i" in the word
Then "daiin" become "8CIIII". Would it be some mix of Arabic and Latin numbers? "8 14"? Some field in a table marked by row and collumn?
And if "a" is "ei" then what is "o"? I suppose many of us would agree that these two signs behave very similarly.
Lots of questions, not much answers...
