It is weird in some respects, but marginalia being weird and varied seems to have been the norm. Voynichese itself also shares many forms with the handwriting from that era, and almost all of the symbols can be found somewhere, in some context.
Thanks a lot. I guess studying the VMS really is an enormous time sink.
Although this time, I hoped that finding words so similar to the VMS "daiin" would at least amount to something.
Do we know what the words are, in the non voynishese writing? I have often thought that perhaps voynichese is based on jokes about hard to read items in other manuscripts, or glyphs mistaken for others. So if we knew these words, maybe they are the same words as intended.
