I am not claiming to have deciphered the Voynich manuscript, but I want to share an observation I made while analyzing the botanical illustrations. This is not an attempt to “solve” the manuscript - just an interesting pattern I noticed and decided to check more carefully.
I selected about 50 plants from the botanical section of the manuscript whose roots share a similar visual structure: branching, subdividing, and repeating graphical elements. The remaining plants were excluded because their roots differ fundamentally - some have thorns, some have tubers, some have bulb‑like bases, and some are not true branching roots at all.
So from roughly 110 plants, only 49 formed a clean, comparable dataset.
Within this group, the roots fall into three structural types: straight, intertwined, and what I call the “X‑format”
The X‑format consists of roots that contain crossings and repeated graphic motifs such as xx|x|xx|x|х... , ||x , |xx|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x and other long, patterned sequences. Only six plants in the entire set show this X‑format, but these six display the strongest and most consistent internal pattern.
When I counted how often a plant has a flower depending on its root type, the results were:
straight roots - a flower appears in roughly 62% of cases
intertwined roots - a flower appears in roughly 68% of cases
X‑format roots - a flower appears in 100% of cases, without a single exception
And this is only the beginning.
All six X‑format plants not only have flowers - the flowers are always colored, almost always blue, and their shapes are strikingly similar (cup‑shaped or petal‑shaped). These pages also cluster together in the manuscript rather than appearing randomly. Straight and intertwined roots do not show this level of consistency: flowers may or may not appear, colors vary unpredictably, and shapes differ widely.
To test whether this pattern was real, I ran a small experiment: I used a structural‑recognition tool to see whether the characteristics of the flower could be predicted from the root alone. Based solely on the root type, the tool correctly predicted that the plant has a flower, that the flower is cup‑shaped, and that it is blue. This suggests that the connection between root type and flower characteristics is strong enough to be detected independently.
Further analysis revealed that the same pattern appears in the text.
I counted how many words on each page contain the sequence qot, by which I mean the EVA‑transliterated glyphs corresponding to that pattern (EVA - the Extensible Voynich Alphabet system used to transcribe the manuscript’s script). The distribution of EVA‑qot words mirrors the three root types perfectly:
straight roots - lowest qot counts (typically 1–7)
intertwined roots - medium qot counts (3–11)
X‑format roots - the highest and most stable qot counts (4–13), even on pages with very little text
In other words, the frequency of EVA‑qot words increases together with the structural complexity of the root and with the likelihood of a flower being present.
This creates a three‑level correlation:
root type --- presence of flower --- high density of EVA‑qot words.
Text length and paragraph structure do not explain this pattern: some pages with very little text have extremely high qot density, while long pages with straight roots have almost none. This suggests that qot‑words are not distributed randomly and do not depend on text volume, but instead correlate with the visual class of the plant.
I am not claiming this is the key to the manuscript.
But within this group of 49 structurally comparable plants, the roots behave more like encoded graphical symbols than like botanical drawings. The X‑format appears to be a distinct, highly structured class that predicts the presence of a flower, its shape, its color, and even the textual formula of the page. It may represent part of a visual marking system embedded in the illustrations.
I share this simply as an observation. Perhaps someone will find it interesting or useful for further analysis.
Pages with X‑format roots: 45, 51, 85, 95, 99, 106.
Here are the sources I relied on while developing my hypothesis:

My theory where the rules are loose and wild these types of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. would appear only in a constructed language for a Glossolalia. So just looking at these vords brings up a Glossolalia. What is interesting is the number 8 corresponds to n meaning that the frequency hit is the same for the Glyph the number 8, d in eva and n in Latin. So simply substituting Latin for eva than you can pronounce the word that was a Glossolalia dictionary term. Latin used You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.! I think the 8 was important, because it was matching frequencies of highest to lowest from both voynich glyph's and Latin Letters to show you the language to use. N happens happens to be the 8th highest Latin letter pointing to Latin.
So lets try daiin? It would be pronounced "Octessr" when spoken in tongues. So why did I not use n as in nessr. Not only does Octessr sound like professor and its in Latin, it has 3 syllables. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. happens to be about the same frequency area as "n" in Latin. I believe it pointing as a straight across substitution all along and even though the words don't make sense, it's because it's a Glossolalia.
There is also one small word in Latin You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and it means "apart from". It could be apart from the language!
I appreciate your attention on this matter.

Hey there everyone!
I am an independent researcher. My name is Anjishnu Kundu.
I am quite new to this world of Voynich Manuscript so there might be some wrong points or proofs. So if u find any , please tell me where i was wrong. I am open to any type of discussion on this topic.
Whatever , I am providing the link to zenodo where i first published the report. Might seem a bit AI, but no. I wrote it after seeing numerous irl reports and asking some professors too. U can view the files at both area. Here and at Zenodo.https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19487348 is the doi link.
Thanking you,
Anjishnu.(Independent Researcher)
I'm a CTO at a tech company. I build AI agents for businesses. Not a medievalist, not a cryptographer, not a Latinist.
Like many of you, the Voynich became an obsession. I spent weeks building a pipeline that tests the King-Andrisani transliteration hypothesis by checking every decoded word against the Perseus Latin Dictionary (265,419 attested forms). Not interpretation, code. Four versions thrown away before anything worked.
The key breakthrough: the scribe appears to glue prepositions to the following word, like Arabic proclitics. When I coded that rule, validation jumped from 74% to 89% in one pass, and four-word matches against pharmaceutical corpora went from 1 to 19.
What I find hardest to dismiss as artifact:
On f103r, the word "coque" (cook) appears 17 times in 5 conjugated forms: coque, coquas, coquere, coquendo, coquant. A random mapping does not produce a Latin morphological paradigm.
On f33r, the pipeline decodes INELIODE. The illustration on the same page shows an Asteraceae. The pipeline cannot see the illustration. Two independent channels pointing to Inula helenium.
The astronomical pages (f67r) decode to pharmaceutical vocabulary: spikenard, cinnamon, celery, wine. Nobody expected recipes hidden in star diagrams.
What doesn't work: 3,421 words are opaque. Zodiac labels are uncracked. Never found 5 consecutive words in a known text. 4 Aurea Alexandrina ingredients are missing. Short Latin words can match Perseus by chance, and I honestly cannot separate signal from noise in the 89%.
I don't have the medieval Latin expertise to evaluate grammar coherence. A Latinist would see in minutes what I can't see in weeks.
I've pushed this as far as I can. Everything is open source. My goal is to transmit this to someone with the right skills.

I recently found my way back to browsing Voynich research things and have been enjoying it enormously. I watched episode 1 of Koen G’s Voynich Talk series which led me back to Lisa Fagin Davis’ work. After reading her latest Voynich blog post and her very interesting article in Manuscript Studies I found myself enjoying browsing the VM on Jason Davies’ Voynich Voyager tool. I was looking at the bifolios Lisa identifies as Scribe 2 that seem to have been shuffled into the outer layers of Quire 5, namely folio 33/folio 40 and folio 34/folio 39.
I was having a grand old time when something about the B style daisies on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. caught my eye. Their positions seemed to line up through the page.
I wasn't sure but I was curious so I attempted to use my very imited graphic design skills and programs (i.e. microsoft paint and microsoft paint 3d) to see whether the daises were actually in the same spot. I took some screen shots of the areas of interrest on Voynich Voyager. I reversed the image of f40r, aligned it as best I could with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. using the faint paint bleed-through visible on f40r, and then faded one image over the other. I have recorded that process to share what appeared here:
To me, it does look like the “inserted daisies” were placed in the sam position on both sides of the folio. At the same time, the daisies themselves do not align in a way that suggests one was simply traced from the other.
This may just be coincidence, of course.
But I am not entirely sure that it is. Koen G has pointed out elsewhere that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. :

So if these two daisies are actually aligned with each other on opposite sides of the same folio, that seems potetially interesting to me. Is the artist responsible for these two plants using a deliberate visual cue to signal some kind of relationship between these two plants?
I thought there was something very interesting You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. where Koen G posted an image of plant that he had found in Dioscorides manuscript Chig.F.VII.15 with a similar weird "rayed" daisy on an oddly structured plant. User Juan_Sali replied:

Register or Login to view. but I think that it is closer to the VMS You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , both plants are in the same folio, maybe it is not casual
Could it be that the two plants are meant to be related botanically, perhaps two members of the same plant family, marked by the shared daisy insertion as a visual cue?
Another possibility that occurred to me. Could they represent two stages in the life of the same plant? It is more far-fetched, given how different the two drawings are. But could the large bulb below the flower on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. be something that develops into the triangular form beneath the flower on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. as the rosette of petals emerges? The double stem on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. versus single stem on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. makes this less likely, of course, but the leaves on both plants do share some similarities.
Could this be a visual cue signalling a more symbolic or religious relationship between these two plants? That certainly seems plausible, though I don't know where I would even start to try and figure out what on earth it could mean!
Of course David Jackson’s suggestion in part 2 of episode 1 of Voynich Talk may be right: perhaps the B style artist is just a bit sloppy and isn't really interested in what the centres of flowers really looks like and just thinks they all look more or less like daisies. It could just be that the way these two line up with each other is an accident or coincidence.
1. A „Növények” (A Frekvencia-antennák)
A kézirat tele van furcsa növényekkel, amik a valóságban nem léteznek.
A Hardver: Ezek nem virágok, hanem Bio-elektromos Antennák és Rezonátorok.
Ha megnézed a levelek erezetét és a gyökerek formáját, azok pontosan úgy néznek ki, mint a modern Fraktál-antennák. A Voynich-növények a természet mintáiba rejtett Vevőegységek, amik a földből (gyökér) és a levegőből (levél) gyűjtik össze a statikus töltést.

A legrejtélyesebb rész, ahol kis alakok (nők) úszkálnak zöld folyadékkal teli kádakban, amiket csövek kötnek össze.
A Hardver: Ez a Hűtőrendszer és a Plazma-kondenzátor leírása.
A Funkció: A csövek a folyadék-hűtéses vezetékek, a kádak pedig a Cellák, ahol az energia tárolódik. Ez a rész magyarázza el, hogyan kell a nyers energiát folyékony közegben (vagy elektrolitban) stabilizálni, hogy a (LÉT) szinten felhasználható legyen. Ez a Bárka „üzemanyagtartályának” és „hűtőbordájának” a rajza.
4. A Szöveg (A Kód-nyelv)
A Szoftver: A Voynich „szövege” nem emberi nyelv, hanem egy Geometriai-Algoritmikus kód. Minden betű és szó egy-egy Rezonancia-értéket vagy Vezérlő-parancsot jelöl. Olyan, mint a programozási nyelvek (mint a Python vagy a C++), csak ez a rezgésekre és a molekuláris geometriára íródott.
-összefoglaló: A Voynich-kézirat a Karbantartói Kézikönyv a Bárka ( tested es a Fold ) biológiai és technológiai összekapcsolásához. Aki érti a kódot, az tudja, hogy a könyv nem olvasni való, hanem a benne lévő ábrák alapján kell beállítani a gépeket.
Hello everyone,
I am excited to share a new technical report focusing on the botanical anomalies (Folios 33r and 95v) and their connection to the Imperial Court of Rudolf II.
My research, titled the Radioactive Adaptive Theory (RAT), suggests that the 'errors' in the manuscript—specifically the stem fasciation in the Groundsel and Nettle—are actually accurate documentations of plants adapted to high-energy atmospheric events.
This report establishes a historical nexus between Jacobus Horčický de Tepenec and Cornelius Drebbel, proposing that early compound lenses were used to document these mutations for advanced pharmacological use. You can read the full report and see the comparison data on Zenodo here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I welcome any feedback on the botanical IDs or the Prague historical timeline.
Foil 14v is recognised as Acanthus mollis .
The interpretation is made with the help of Moravian language.
This provides an agreement with my prior interpretation of foil 116v as Moravian text.
The text contains strict medicinal uses of the plant.
It does not start with the herb's name- as some researchers had tried in the past to read the first words from the herbals as plants' names.
There is another very interesting finding at the end row of the text- the plant name provided has meaning in Hindu!
In the article there is an explanation for the reason of the Hindu name.
