geoffreycaveney's Judaeo-Greek theory

[Koffee]

Hello, I had heard of this site in the past but only actually visited it a few days ago. I actually wanted to comment in another thread first, but I guess this is as good a time as any.
I'd like to make a few observations when I have more time, but for now, here is what I make of the exercise Goeffrey proposed.

Sh - τ
o - ο
l - ν


a - ά
r - ρ

sh - τ
o - ο
n - ν

ch - ῾
a - η
iin - μ

o - ώ
l - ν

sh - τ
o - ο
l - ν

o - ε
p - π
ch - ι
e - ο
d - ύ
y - σ

ch - ι
o - ο
l - ν

s - δ
o - ό
y - ς

ch - ᾿
a - η
iin - μ

ch - (blank initial, as per your Note 3)
a - ί
iin - ν

y - σ
ch - ή
a - (dunno about this one, I assume it attaches to the -iin below)
iin - μ

ch - (blank initial)
o - ε
r - ρ
o - ο
l - ν

It's an excerpt from the Lord's Prayer, I assume this is what you encoded? I was fairly certain of the beginning (τὸν άρτον), and after figuring out the end, I kinda put the pieces together. I checked to see if all of it fits with your schematic, and the only part I am not so sure about is the /a/ in the second-to-last word.

The issue of ambiguous mappings has already been raised of course, but if I can add to that, if I had gone word-for-word in a linear way, simply with trial and error, (which I did for a while) it would have taken way too much time, at least without some sort of clue/key, (which I did have for this text, as it is indeed a "well-known text", but for the actual VM...? it would get very complicated without a key for mappings or sth)


Anyway, this is a nice forum with a lot of interesting discussions, I'm looking forward to reading even more, on this site and the various blogs, since I have a lot of catching up to do
