My Solution – Abbreviated Middle High German
#4
Okay, I took the time to look through your PDFs. No AI after all. But:

In your substitution, many glyphs are assigned dual meanings: (u|v), (i|ü), (d|t), (in|m), (u|s). These are pairs that (mostly) match each other in Middle High German, but not randomly. They would have to present a consistent picture. That’s a degree of freedom. 

But that’s not all there is to freedom. The “freely” inserted prefixes and suffixes come into play as well. But honestly, I didn’t understand that part either. I’d need more information here.

And then you yourself describe this search in the dictionary network (“sch*e*z” -> 31 hits) and there you picked out the matching one.

With this degree of freedom, you’ll always find a string in such a lexicon that can be pieced together into something. Usually not real sentences, but phrases that can be interpreted with a great deal of freedom. That’s not a discovery. That’s adapting to a wish. It’s classic eisegesis.

And you’re not the first to do this. Others have already used dictionaries and their many possibilities to find halfway reasonable (mostly really only halfway) sentences from a VMS substitution—strangely enough, in languages completely different from Middle High German—and that supposedly worked too.

No offense, you’ve put in a lot of work, it seems to me. But if you really want to convince anyone here, you need to be more consistent—it probably won’t be accepted here the way it is.

And what you're passing off as Middle High German/Bavarian doesn't sound like Middle High German—it's more like gibberish. And your interpretation of the sentences, the way you've translated them into German/English, is actually quite loose - too lose... sry...
