Ah, I see, I assumed something that I didn't explicitly write: a profile in the sense of this theory that I am trying to present here, that these are magical, possibly phonetic spells, possibly with a Bavarian background.
For an author who had been in China, for example, this profile would look very different.
And to the other point: yes, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Based on this thesis, I am making assumptions that, with a lot of luck, can be traced back to a kind of text. With a very uncertain outcome.
But let me make this clear: many people think the writer was some kind of genius because he managed to create such an encryption. I think he was something else entirely, something more normal, too. Many people won't like that.
