For some reason, I see a similarity... - ololololo - 18-08-2026
While studying Giovanni Fontana’s cipher, I somehow noticed a similarity in the principle of symbol formation to the Voynichese.
Roughly speaking, the entire Fontana alphabet is built around O and I. Therefore, the lines written in this cipher look rather “monotonous”:
The Voynichese script, as is well known, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. — C and I — and most of the symbols (except, perhaps, the gallows) can be reduced to these two.
Maybe this is telling us something?

I worked on curve-line stuff quite a lot, and I still find it the most interesting thing about the text.
It is really easy to .. sort of drift off in a thought raft.. into the sea, though.
What I mean is, as interesting as curve-line is and this cipher is. You can see the same logic looking down at your keyboard (at least in English).
Almost everything is made from curves or lines. Are they building blocks, or when you put pen on paper are you destined to make a line or a curve?
The bit that still interests me the most is not the letter forms, but the structure and "rules" the letters have - which is not usual in language. Like I can have "or" "ar" "ir" in English and Voynich, but I'm not allowed "er".
"Is Voynich text building upon base shapes?" Probably not because when you start trying to incorporate more you run into the structure roadblock - That is my thought currently anyway.
I think this is why some people are looking at verbose stuff, because to make sense of things you need groups of letters.. and even then it's .. well, Voynich.

I also see geometric principles in the glyphs. The sample I’ve attached uses a 3x3 grid, but some glyphs would require a 3x4 grid.

Like I can have "or" "ar" "ir" in English and Voynich, but I'm not allowed "er"In Currier B, there is a glyph that represents the letters EVA a and EVA r as if they were stuck together. It can be assumed that this is precisely er.
Another example is EVA u, which is essentially e + n.
Also, EVA a by itself represents e + i.
