Attached is an image from "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.", Università di Firenze, showing two Ghibelline towers in a geometry lesson. The low resolution of the scan makes it difficult to decide whether the numeral used in the text is modern 4 or medieval 5.

Another example of divisibility by 5 is the frequency of occurrence = 25 of the symbol X.
The symbol X never occurs together with the symbol q in a word token.

The two-symbol combination qo appears as a distinct vord 50 times. Here qo with a macron on top at the beginning of line f1v.7 is not counted.

Dobri,

This site is very useful to check and see if a voynich glyph is in a page.

Stellar,

Thanks for your comment. It all depends on the transliteration one uses to analyze the manuscript.

I am using the voyn_101 transliteration developed by the late Timothy Rayhel (Glen Claston) 1957-2014.

The transliteration used at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. results in only 29 matches when searching for qo as a distinct vord (see the first attached image).

However, the voyn_101 transliteration results in 50 matches starting from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (see the second attached image).

I consider the voyn_101 transliteration as more reliable when dealing with spaces between vords.
