Register or Login to view.Statistically some characters cannot be the same because they appear in very different circumstances. l for example appears in completely different environments than y so I really doubt they are the same. But m appears in many of the same places as y and also looks similar to it in the text - and this is something I only realized after trying to figure out what combinations y could join in.
One has to be careful with such considerations, because it can equally be argued that two shapes that appear in completely different environments can represent the same character, and the two forms are to be used in these different environments as a result of some rule.
This happens with 's' for example (special form at end of word), or with 'r' (r rotunda following a round shape).
The two forms of s don't look at all alike, while the two forms of r have some similarity.

Quote:Thank you - I was not even aware that <g> was a different letter than <m>. Alright, I'll have to look more at that situation. I'm not sure I agree with the EVA creators that they are different.
Quote:I have seen these <chh> combinations and they may not affect my units - for example:
2. ySKcy= y/s/k/ey
5. ch cKhh y = ch / ek / ch / y
6. ch cKhhy = ch / ek / ch / y (same as 5)

That's not true. The strong relationship between glyphs and word position has been noted and analysed many times.
For example, your unit 18 aiin appears almost always at the end of words. Why? Why do we not frequently see other ordered combinations of unit 18 like aiinol, aiinkk or chaiinaiin? If all word spaces are fake as you suggest, there is still the question for the system: Why do certain units like aiin[font=Arial], but not others, [/font](almost) always precede the fake word space?

I appreciate the many insights into the text that I did not see before. I will try to amend my theory and get back to you. To be honest I still think that I am on the right track and have noticed some valuable things. Now it is just a matter of tweaking my theory. If anyone thought I saw anything useful, feel free to use my ideas in your theories also.
