Lament from the Sea, New Method! f2r

[ReneZ]

The table that assigns numbers to the Voynich MS characters has not been much discussed.
Leaving aside that the column for 7 is empty, and that the pedestalled gallows are not inside it, it is worth mentioning that there are a great many different ways to put the characters in such a table.

As an example, taking the simpler case that one has 27 characters to put into nine groups of three, there are 6.7 times ten to the power 19 different possibilities.

Thus, even if this method was used, the probability that the table is correct is nil.

It seems a pity that so much effort is going into discussing this...
