Voynich text generator

[Torsten]

I think it's funny that you're using <chedy> as an example after I just pointed out its rarity in your sample text, but anyway...

The purpose of the app is to demonstrate that it is possible to write a pseudo text with such a simple method and that the method can result in features similar to the VMS. Its an misunderstanding if you believe that the method always will result in the same text. You can generate as many different sample texts with the app as you like. Some of this texts would have more with the VMS in common and some off them less.

No, the word <chedy> alone cannot account for the distribution of <ed>, if that's what you're saying.  There are many other common words that contain <ed>, such as <okedy>, <okeedy>. <qokedy>, <qokeedy>, etc.

This words are just copies of 'chedy'. A prefix like 'o' added to 'chedy' or 'cheedy' most times will result in 'okedy' or 'okeedy' (see the grid in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 78 or see pages with many 'qokeedy'  words like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. You are not allowed to view links.

In the same way a prefix 'o' added to 'daiin' can result in 'okaiin', 'o' added to 'chol' can result in 'okol', 'l' added to 'chedy' can result in 'lkedy' etc.

Also we have <ed> and <od> coexisting in most of the B language text

Indeed, since the pages in Currier B were written after the pages in Currier A the scribe was able to use also the Currier A form there. This is a hint that the pages in Currier B were written after the pages in Currier A.

 Otherwise, as I understand your method, all these words should have been treated independently

The words in the VMS are related to each other. "Similarly spelled word types occur with predictable frequencies. They occur with comparable frequency, whereas types which contain less frequent glyphs or bigrams in most cases occur less frequently" (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 2).

"An example for a path between 'daiin' and 'ol' is 'daiin' - 'dain' - 'dan' - 'dar' - 'ar' - 'al' - 'ol'. An example for a path between 'daiin' and
'chedy' is 'daiin' - 'chdaiin' - 'chedaiin' - 'chedan' - 'chedan' - 'cheda' - 'chedy'" (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 7) . Since the words are copied from each other the 'da' in 'daiin' is as 'dy' still part of 'chedy' (Note: 'a' at the end of a word in most cases changes into 'y'). This is the reason for the rigid word structure of the VMS.
