Why and how the text could be Bavarian

[rikforto]

The sense I have is that the spacing rules are not essential for distinguishing minimal pairs, but were an important part of the scribe's toolkit for supporting that process. So we can argue if the transliteration should have a space on f82v where you see qoteytyqoky, but if there are firm rules about word boundaries, the scribe didn't need to worry about a clearly distinguished word space every time because a y-q pair is a split regardless.

It's fairly sophisticated, too! A mistake a lot of conlangers make (and I'm not claiming this is a conlang, but it's clearly a con-script) is not having enough of this supporting information
