I don't know if you are addressing me.
But I distinguish between abbreviations like "RIP or PN" and "d' or v' and 9".
The abbreviation theory will not work for the whole VM text. It's just too much for that. Ergo no.

Quote:Rossignol, however, developed a coding system in which syllables and whole words were also replaced by numbers ....... Decryption was only possible with code tables on which the word - arranged in alphabetical order - and the corresponding numerical value were recorded.

Register or Login to view.Let us setup a thought experiment where an educated person created their own syllabary shorthand. If glyphs can stand for both common words/phrases and syllables, then we start to explain away a lot of the repetition we see in the text.
