ol most likely translates to "Io" using Latin - voynichrose - 07-06-2025
ol is the most common two letter vord in the Voynich Manuscript. Since "io" is a name for a Myth then it would not rank high in a frequency list. If you run a frequency analysis o is the most common letter in the Voynich Manuscript. While i the letter in Latin is the most common. The letter
"o" for Latin is the 8th most common letter. l is the 7th most common letter in voynich. So I humbly submit this could ol be the vord for "io" in Latin.
Io was the love interest of Zeus. Could the myth of Io be in the pages of the Voynich Manuscript?

it’s not a bad theory if you only look at how Latin letters behave. You need to also look at how Eva o and Eva l behave both together and apart. ( I don’t know how to use the glyph symbol). Eva l in particular does not like to behave. It often goes against most patterns in the research I’ve read. Does the Latin o behave similar as it composes new words in different meanings?You should compare how the Latin letters act together and apart in words and then compare them to how the vords act. See if that also matches up. That would lend more support and if it doesn’t you can can still gain valuable info on the nature of these two glyphs.

If the glyphs matched 1:1 with Latin, the manuscript would have been translated a hundred years ago.
