Here's a fictional solution I just made (below). You can phonetically-hammer (I think I just made up a term..) the first paragraph in EVA to modern English, read from end to start. 

So why is it bad?

1. It can't be repeated by others. I could sit 5000 people in a room and I doubt anyone would decipher the text the same way.
2. It can't be "measured". There are no more works of this nature to substantiate my claim and my rules are unclear.

I'm sure others will find very many ways in which this is bad, but I think these two are fundamental. 

Lots of stuff can "work", but if it can't be repeated by others and it can't be "measured" in some way by peers the theory is "inconsequential" to quote Einstein, or less tactfully "belongs on the trash heap" to quote Neil Degrasse Tyson. Obviously a VM solution is not a physics solution, but I think the general idea is translatable to theories. My solution can't be used, so it is inconsequential. Throws in trash heap

As Nablator said earlier, we hit a milestone today:  the 60th You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. to the Voynich manuscript was posted on this forum. 

So I will redo the counts for the most common language solutions from when it was done about six months ago:

  1. Latin retains 1st place with 16 solutions 
  2. English pushes into 2nd place with 5 solutions
  3. In third place is Hebrew with 4 solutions

Honourable mention to three languages with 3 solutions each:  Turkic; Czech; and Italian, the latter which had two solutions in the last month or so.
Latin first place is understandable. English second place is remarkable though... 

Also, congratulations to French for finally getting on the board  Wink

I guess this has something to do with the main language of voynich.ninja being English? I think it's possible there are some local Voynich MS forums in some non English speaking countries, where solutions in local language families are overrepresented.
