Register or Login to view.I still think some of the spaces (i.e., before 'q', after 'ain/aiin/etc.' -- EVA 'y' is trickier) are mechanically inserted, but it's unclear that adding them on top of the underlying word breaks works to sufficiently shorten the vords and reproduce other properties of the vord vocabulary.

My take on this issue is, that there is a correlation between the presence of spaces (word gaps) and word-final shapes. To a lesser extent also with word-initial shapes (primarily q ).

As always with correlation, we cannot assume that one of the two causes the other.
They may also be two results of some common cause.

This still says nothing about whether these spaces are separators between words of a plain text.
