Why and how the text could be Bavarian

Well, the creator of the cipher has now made the vowels “unrecognizable.” The compromising “e” is spread across two vowel bridges and is thus quite well concealed. Now he has to conceal the consonants—especially “d,” the most common consonant in German, and “n.”

But let’s first take a look at what’s left when we remove the vowels.

Step 1: Remove all spaces
Step 2: Replace all vowels with a space.

We'll do this now using a German text, because everything that follows in the next posts doesn't work in other languages. I've chosen a passage from the “Breslauer Arzneibuch” (standardized (v/u)) for this purpose:

You’ll notice that there are mainly one / two consonants left here, occasionally three, and rarely four/five

Interestingly, the top 160 most frequent consonant clusters in the Breslauer account for 92% of the entire text.

"Breslauer Arzneibuch":
Total number of German clusters:  approx. 134,317
Occurrences in the top 160:          approx. 124,077
Coverage by the top 160:              approx. 92.38%
Remaining occurrences:                approx. 7.62%

So, in order to cover these consonant clusters with the VMS kernels (without the vowel bridges), the VMS kernels would need to contain sufficient information.

To do this, let's take a look at the E-family.

In the VMS, there is the “e” family which has roughly 10 stems:
e
ee
eee
eo
eeo
ed
eed
eod
eeod
eeed

There are many VMS glyphs before these "e family"; let's take for example the 16 most common ones:

k
t
ch
sh
kch
pch
lk
tch
lch
ckh
lsh
ksh
cth
tsh
fch
psh

That are 160 possible combinations. 

An theoretical exampel:

   

Fill the cells with German clusters and you will get a Matrix

(But the actual VMS cells are not uniformly filled. In the hard bridge matrix, 111 of the 160 possible cells are occupied and 49 are empty. And, of course, it’s important to note that in Currier A/B, the bigrams “od” and “ed” are almost completely interchanged, and other effects —from this perspective, the “e” family shrinks even further. - but it's only an example)

Then there are all these other families—the aiin family, the air family, etc.—that can take on additional roles. 

And, of course, there’s also the rest of the more unstructured glyph distributions in the VMS (I’m currently assuming that these remaining glyphs are simply substituted. And that the labels, for example, are just consonants without vowels—which explains why they tend to be a bit short).

So generally speaking, there is enough information to encode these leftover consonant clusters. That is an important insight.


More on that later....
