Even if Eva is largely pronounceable, there are many words that aren't, at least comfortably. While the opening lines of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (in Cuva, as shown by Marco) seem to be OK, there is already a word ending in -NR that is uncomfortable.
There are also such words as chcthy / chcThy and oeeos / oeeos

Register or Login to view.Just logically speaking, I don't expect someone from 1400s to sit and write a 200 page manuscript and make it non pronounceable, or a full on obscure text (unless it's of utmost importance, as in a military/spy/religious document?).

For all we know the VMS was a one-off project by a single person, who never had any need to consult with anyone else in making it, and never intended to share it with anyone, and thus never needed it to be readily convertible to human speech.....Whether it was a single author or several authors remains open. If it had actually been several authors, then it had to be a traceable system. For example, this would not fit "asemic writing - theory".

Register or Login to view.One thing that stuck out to me in my reading is that in a typical monastic scriptorium, for maximum efficiency, there would be someone standing at a raised lectern reading the original text slowly and loudly, while multiple scribes would copy down what they heard at the same time.This was for gospel texts, ones that were expected to be sold "for the mass market", mainly students and the like.
