The first glyph of every line – a hint at a cipher?
#29
I'm sure this is already known, but I want to note it here anyway: Wink

The pages f49v, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. all have sequences of single characters written next to the text (vertical columns, beside the lines). What I noticed:

All three sequences are built almost exclusively from glyphs that also function as line-start markers in the main text 
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (26 chars): f o r y e @140 k s p o @192 y e @140 @164 p o @192 y e @140 d y e k y You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. col.2 (2x17): y o s sh y d o f @169 x air d sh y f f y | o d s f c @172 x t o @195 l r t o x p d You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (9 chars):  s d q s o l k r s

Common core across all three: d, o, r, s. All line-start markers.

So the margin columns seem to be drawn from the same inventory as the line-start markers, plus a few page-specific special glyphs.

It seems as though the writer was trying to provide a specific clue here - so if someone is looking for a key to what the first letters mean, it’s probably right here.

( It’s interesting in this context that both You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. share some of the specific characters. Is this a direct link between the two pages? But we all know that as soon as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. comes into play, things get confusing... Big Grin )

Let’s note this: Each of these three pages has a column in which the letters are arranged from top to bottom. It contains the same characters that also appear as markers for the first position of the VMS lines. Coincidence? Since there aren’t that many glyphs in the VMS anyway? I don’t know. But, believe me, I’ll find out.... Angel(or not)
