A key to understand the VMS

[nickpelling]

Torsten: my hypothesis (that Voynichese combines scribal abbreviation with strong elements of verbose cipher, along with other cipher tricks) does explain in a properly forward sense pretty much all the properties that you are focused on. So your by-now-much-repeated claim that autocopying is the only explanation for these behaviours is simply not true.

I think the reason your explanation makes Emma May Smith want to ragequit is that by focusing so heavily on the connectivity of the network of Voynichese words, you seem to have lost sight of the frequency counts of nodes. You are not talking about a network where all paths have equal weights: you are talking about a network where there are some often spectacularly divergent values.

I'm sorry, but your attempted post-rationalization of why eol/ole/leo are sensible in terms of autocopying (but elo/oel/loe are not) makes no sense to me whatsover.
