[split] What can the structural peculiarities of the VMS tell us about the nature of the underlying text

[JoJo_Jost]

All character level statistics can be explained by using a cipher, all larger level statistics can be explained by the structure of the plaintext, in principle.

Yes, it's all a matter of belief. But I'm sure that if it were a well-known medieval language - even one with a more complex cipher and a very specific plaintext - it would have been deciphered by now.... But fine, prove me wrong; I'd be thrilled if someone finally managed to decipher the VMS.
