He identifies Language A as "definitely Hebrew" but Language B as only "probably" Hebrew
This concerns me because the differences between A and B are not overwhelming. Many of the differences are systematic (in other words, one can change many of the A tokens into B with a simple adjustment).
In English, imagine writing honor and then switching to honour. I'm not saying the VMS dialects are as simple as that (or of that kind), it's just an example, but a number of A B differences have that general flavor, of being the same, just not exactly the same.
Overall, there is an almost disturbing similarity of VMS text from beginning to end. But I will look at it again from this proposed point of view.
It will be difficult for me to read the paper in depth before the weekend, but I'll try to give it a preliminary read this evening.
