| A Suffix for Plants |
|

I believe there are suffixes for a number of plant names. In first lines of f7r, f11v, f13r, and f95v2, word A starts with sh and word B starts with q (sh..., q...). I have found it with help of meanings and omissions and it is occurring in more than one page. In two folios it is turning to Jak/Jek functioning like a suffix. The others need to be checked. Jek also works in Azerbaijani language. I have no idea if this is a Voynich specific suffix or from an actual dialect.

Some people have started a crowdsource project on the VMS. I'm not familiar with Zooniverse, but it seems to be primarily a platform that uses "swarm intelligence" to evaluate contributions. How this will work in practice with the VMS is not entirely clear to me.

| 104 plant names uncovered in The Voynich Manuscript |

Today my paper Cracking the Voynich Cipher was released.
A download can be found at sivbuggevatne.com
The paper proposes a full decoding of the Voynich manuscript´s cipher. The decoding is tested in the plant section of the manuscript. It reveals 104 plant names which are all found as one of the first words in each herbal text. The names found lead to plants with the same characteristics as the Voynich illustrations, and the names are closely related to vernacular plant names used in medieval England.
Best regards,
Siv

I have noticed that time and again images are posted on this forum that have been found on the internet especially from digitised manuscripts. However only a small part of what is out there is to be found online, although it is impressive what is to be found online. (I think I remember Nick Pelling observing the limitations of online resources.) Nevertheless it seems that books or archives are rarely if ever consulted by Voynich researchers. I wonder if Voynich researchers should cast their net wider or otherwise they could find themselves waiting a long time until documents are digitised. I remember posting not so long ago about archives with no response, it is as though primary resources are considered irrelevant. I understand there is more effort and maybe more cost required when drawing from books or archives as googling is a much simpler more convenient way of researching. It feels like Voynich researchers need to reassess their approach to research.

I have found a word (تبری) which is defined as sumac (سماق), and it is for the folio95r1. At first, I was thinking the drawing is more like a barberry. What do you think about it being a Sumac flower? To what I see, in voynich portal it is suggested that the other plant in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. can be a Poison sumac. So, if what I'm saying is correct, can we have two sumac plants? Or the writings are in the wrong place?

Blue, red and "white" are used with strong effect in the VMs cosmic illustrations. Does this particular combination of colors show up in any other aspects of medieval investigation? In heraldry, and particularly in the earlier and more simplified versions of heraldry that is more appropriate to the time before c. 1450, many two-tincture insignias are still in use and red, blue and white combinations are not that common over all, even if vair is considered as white and blue.
Recently, two investigations involving heraldry with red, white, blue and gold tinctures have occurred regarding the counts of Gorizia [Gorz with an umlaut, etc.] and Celje > Cilli > Zylly with umlauts. Does the particular color combination indicate any connection of these historical locations with the VMs? And where else might the same, primary combination of colors occur?
Blue, red and white are used in the arms of Portugal. Does Portugal connect to the Order of the Golden Fleece? Is there a list of examples for the VMs having connections with the number 'five'?
