I am asking this question because I have not yet studied Sukhotin's analysis in depth. Considering that this encoding reduces typical Bavarian vowel combinations to vowel repetition (e.g. ee = oa/ua and ii = ui/eu), combines other vowels (o/u → o), shifts the ‘e’ at the end of the word to a “y” and treats consonant clusters as single units – could this phonetic filtering explain the ‘artificial’ results that Sukhotin analyses typically deliver for the VMS, too?
