Unraveling the Voynich Codex

[-JKP-]

From Tucker and Janick, chapter 5, page 2:

"The four most unique symbols in the Voynich Codex are t, s, p, and d."


This is not true.

• EVA-s and EVA-r are commonly found in Latin script. They are abbreviations that stand alone or occur within words. There is nothing rare or unique about them.
  
• EVA-d is also found in Latin script. It is not as common as the asymmetric d or s when used as a letter, but it is not rare and certainly not unique. In fact, it is found in the 116v marginalia in much the same way it is used in languages that use Latin scribal conventions.
  
• EVA-d was also the most common way to write the number 4 in Latin script from about the 1380s to the late 1400s.
