I was drawn to the manuscript because I saw clearly several Slavic words in the botanical section. However in the bathing section, I think see several Greek words. I admit that I know more Greek words than Latin words, because Old-Slavic dictionaries systematically give the equivalents of words in Greek, rarely in Latin.Excuse me for my inexactness. Nevertheless I just wanted to say that I can expect Greek words in the VMs. I tried to interpret one of the label words in Greek and had an interesting result, but it must be checked, and I hope to do this soon. Perhaps, it's just a coincidence, as it usually happens.

He clearly recognized that there are many non-natural-language properties in the VMS text and tried to find a language group that might have similar properties. He put quite a bit of effort into trying to resolve these peculiarities within the Greek language:

I understand the idea, but unfortunately don't know Greek to judge about correctness of the obtained sentences or phrases. I didn't try Greek in interpretations, besides some labels.
I hope my inspiration won't end quickly this time and will make tries again with another approaches. The main thing is not to succumb to dissappointment.

Register or Login to view.TL;DR, there's a lot of friction between VMs theorists who think like artists, and those who think like scientists. It's a shame that the two styles of thinking and perceiving repel each other so often, because they both have something valuable to contribute.Yes, but I believe - not always.

What would be a big success is to being somewhere in the middle.

Register or Login to view.I can read a tiny bit of Greek, if it's subject matter that's familiar, but I do not know Greek grammar, so I cannot judge whether his ideas or parts of his ideas would work. I respect his attempt at looking for a framework that has some of the same peculiarities/properties as the VMS text. I wish I knew enough Greek to know if the idea (or parts of it) could go somewhere.I can read Greek. Geoffrey's proposals were on the level of Cheshire's proto-Romance. As few passing similiarities here and there but nothing more than that.
