There are so many more factors in the VMS that influence the statistics. Here are just a few: Which glyphs belong together and which don’t (aiin, daiin, dy, qo, etc)? Are the blank spaces actually blank spaces or not? Are the line breaks the start of new sentences or not? Are the glyphs transcribed correctly or incorrectly? Are the glyphs severely flawed or not? If you try to calculate all of that, you end up in the devil’s kitchen… and there, everything is just a foul-smelling soup…
@ quimqu But I can see your point—actually, that’s exactly how you should proceed when you don’t have a theory: just run some tests, see what results you get, and then see if you can disprove those results. That way, over time, you’ll get a good picture of what the VMS structure looks like. But, does it help? No!!!
