Any translation attempt that includes the EVA letter [P] or the EVA letter [F] and
converts it directly in any other character or group of characters of another language, is wrong.
That being posed, the first word on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. can not start with the EVA letter [P] being translated into a Latin P.
This is right, but with one important addition, which I am sure you implied.
Such a solution is definitely wrong, in case the letters Eva(p) and Eva(f) are the only ones that encode certain plain
text letters. It would not necessarily be wrong if (for example) the plaintext "n" would be encoded by Eva(l) or Eva(p).
For many years now I have been using this criterium as one of the first ones to look for, in all proposed solutions.
Most recently also the one proposed by Matthew Luther.
In general, the people proposing their solutions, when confronted by this evidence, find it very hard to accept, even
though the argument is very simple and very strong.
It is one example where, not being familiar with the statistics of the Voynich script, puts one at a big disadvantage in
finding a solution.
