Voynich Manuscript Latin Translation

[Koen G]

Tommy

I've seen your method before, if I understand it correctly, every Voynich word is an anagram of a Latin word, right?

As others may have pointed out to you, there are a number of serious problems with this approach. I'll boil it down to this:

• The decoding process is extremely difficult. What information is worth encoding in such a way? It must be important, right? You won't go though the trouble of this procedure just to encode and decode nursery rhymes. 
  
• The procedure is not lossless. Take the English word SPARE. Its anagrams are:
  • apers, apres, asper, pares, parse, pears, prase, presa, rapes, reaps, spare, spear
    

Let's be fair and drop the most uncommon words from the list. That leaves us with SPARE, PARSE, PEARS, RAPES, REAPS, SPEAR. Six different common English words.
To spare someone is totally different than to spear them. I'd even say the two are mutually exclusive
Throw some possible raping, reaping and pears into the mix, and your reader will be very; very confused.

If you allow one letter to be altered (dropped, added, switched), the possibilities to decode a full sentence become infinite.

So my question is: how do you explain the very time consuming, high security encoding on the one hand, and the extremely high risk of the message being mutilated on the other?
