~100% of 'm' occur after a, and/or are word-final. Natural languages are not like that

I thought I made it clear that I'm trying to discuss the possibility that transliteration alphabets have potential blind spots in their use.  

I feel like you're arguing why my specific example does not fit the VMS. I never said it fits the VMS? I just said that it considers something that isn't normally considered by the transliteration alphabets, and that those types of things may affect entropy. 


Not to mention that the exact example you quoted was literally a hypothetical example with a Latin Script plaintext. I was just expressing it using the EVA font to make a point.
