[split] The Zipf law and the Voynich Manuscript

[Torsten]

Only [daiin] is common for the whole manuscript.

...

There are  three labels using [daiin]:
<f67r2.X.6>      tol.daiin=
<f68v2.R.12>     dchedal.daiin=
<f72r3.S1.9>     oteey.daiin=

This is another point on which what we see in the VMS is consistent with a meaningful text.  In an English text, for instance, it would be nonsensical for common words like "the", "for", "to", etc. to occur by themselves in labels in illustrations, but it would be perfectly normal for them to occur as a part of a compound phrase containing other words.

The usage of [daiin] is not consistent with a common word like "the", "and", "for" or "to". There are pages full of text without any [daiin] like f75r, f79v, You are not allowed to view links.

There is also a page like You are not allowed to view links.
