Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Is "hov" a real word in any language?

For what it's worth, in Slovenian it's the onomatopoeia for a dog's bark, corresponding to the English "woof". But I somehow doubt there's any Slovenian in the Voynich manuscript. :p

Thanks. When I enlarge the 'v' on Yale's TIFF images, I can envision it as a 'w' when viewed from a certain angle. The problem is that the rise in the middle of the w is short, much shorter than what we see on JP's images of the medieval w where the middle typically rises to the height of the sides. If you get the chance, have a look at it and let me know what you think.
