Linear 'C'hinese again



Oops, I had said that each 'character' began with a c-stroke: thus a word
may consist of more than one character: daiin would be two characters d -
two stroke, and aiin - six stroke.
By this definition all VMS words could be broken into syllables by finding
the 'finals' of each character:
oteedy = o (one two-stroke character), t = 'box character', eed (one
four-stroke character) and y - a final two stroke character: Thus four
syllables ( or three if the Gallows is a modifier of the following
character).

    John.
