Results hold under every transliteration

Likely research result: supported

The results of Part V do not depend on the transliteration system: they hold for Glen Claston's v101 (GC2a, one character per glyph shape, 69 symbols) as for ZL (EVA, 27 letters / 29 glyph units).

Kind: hypothesis
Stage: tested
Tests: ["T18-translit (the battery re-run with VOY_TRANSLIT=GC)"]
Family: STRUCT
Origin: deductive
Result: Word-level results hold unchanged: TTR 0.229 (ZL 0.218), hapax 0.70 / 0.71, Zipf -1.01 / -1.04, word-order gain residual 2.8 sd (ZL 2.9 before, 3.7 with random ids), held-out word bigram worse than unigram (11.02 -> 11.17 bits), form-function 0.16 / 24 % (ZL 0.15 / 15 %), ring register q-initial 1.8 % vs 14.5 % in paragraphs, 3 repeated 4-grams (ZL 0), nearest-language families the same, periodicity and isomorph tests flat, sorted-anagram share 54 % (ZL 44 %). Glyph-level results move: conditional character entropy is 2.53 bits under GC against 2.13 under ZL, i.e. at the attested minimum (2.50) rather than far below it, and deleting the two commonest GC symbols lifts it to 2.75, inside the language range, so the null-glyph exclusion of T9 does not hold under GC.
Predictions: ["each registered statistic computed on GC falls on the same side of its decision rule as on ZL"]
