Register or Login to view.Modelling Voynichese solely as a (large) set of prefixes and suffixes is arguably even more reductive than Gordon Rugg's table (if more empirical). But I don't honestly think { {pick a prefix} x {pick a suffix} } really counts as a valid state transition model in any useful sense of the phrase.Because I wrote the blog pages in the order I did the analysis, only correcting things if I subsequently discovered them to be wrong (i.e. mistakes), it's easy to misinterpret what I wrote. I could have avoided that if I simply wrote a paper after doing the research, leaving out any ideas which I pursued along the way that were eventually dropped, such as that words are composed from prefixes and suffixes. But I also wanted to show the path the research took, not just the final result. Perhaps I should have advised people to read my blog backwards.
My theory is that words are composed of individual glyphs, not prefixes and suffixes. At each state, a glyph is output and then a transition is followed.
