The Voynich Ninja

The rule set of vocabulary plus grammar would not be enough to recreate something like Hop on Pop. There are also issues of subject matter, age-level target, length, and the famous Seuss dose of creativity.

It would be a challenge, but I think something like it could be done. Natural-language-generation programs have come a long way. Some websites are written with them.


For Voynichese, the vocabulary (which is somewhat limited) is less of a problem than the "grammar". What should follow what? and when? and how much?

I used the first approx 10,000 words of Pliny's natural history.
It has more than 3999 word types, so I added the Roman numeral Q to represent 5000.

I also introduced an alternative representation of the numbers (not Voynich-like).

Here are the files:

Second edit: problem should have been solved.

Hi Rene,
I see that those file are not available anymore. I often refer to mod2 as a great way to force partial reduplication. Is there any discussion and example of the method that can be linked?

Hi Marco,

when I moved my site to a new host last year, I did not copy over all of the 'unofficial' data.
I just restored these three files so you should be able to use them again.
There will be lots of similar items missing, so just drop me a line if you need something.
