Vord verifier

[-JKP-]

Facts would be nice, which Don are you talking about, which page, which system. 

Where did you mention it JKP, or where is the outline page which describe the structure ?

Yes, it's Don of T. And several months ago, he posted much the same basic idea as Tom, that you can divide the glyphs into groups and then, by taking parts of each group and combining them in sequence, you can come up with most of the vords in the VMS. I supported him in the beginning when he posted that because, in my opinion, he was on the right track (my own research agreed with what he was posting). After that, he started trying to apply English words to the text and I have been reserving judgment on that second part because I'm not completely convinced in the interpretation, but I support his initial statements about the way the glyphs are grouped and combined.

Tom's observation in this post isn't the first time he was on the right track. I don't know if he realized it at the time, but a couple of months ago, maybe three months ago, he posted something that showed he was headed in this direction, had the right idea and I supported his comments then. I don't have time at the moment to hunt up the post but I'm sure some members will remember it (at least I hope they remember it because it was a substantive observation).


The reason I haven't posted my version of this, except for hints, is because I like to have things farther along before I publish them and I have had a monumental struggle in determining which glyphs are diglyphs (there are a couple that are resisting analysis, which may be both diglyph and monoglyph, and which may possibly be serving two purposes). I felt it was important to work this out before posting and I've been working on it not just for months but for years. As I mentioned in several previous posts, I can predict the subject matter and position in the manuscript of some of these vords, I'm pretty pleased with that, but I am unhappy that I can't deconstruct all the components perfectly (it's driving me nuts, actually) and I set myself a goal of not posting it until I do. If I miss the boat because of that, well, what can I say. That's life. In some things I'm a stubborn perfectionist and I simply don't what to reveal it until I can explain at least three paragraphs and I'm going to try to stick to that.
