Here are two examples from a dictionary of latin abbreviations (lexicon abbreviaturum)

I noticed that a few of the abbreviations in that book resemble Voynich symbols. Has anyone compiled a complete list of such abbreviations and what they abbreviate?

An abbreviation that I saw in the published output was "tēps" for "temps". Makes me think that VMS decoding requires a mechanism for associating consonants with vowels or vice versa. I'm working on it.

I've just noticed that we have a precedent for the use of the abbreviation 'tē' for 'tem' on f72v:



Actually, the bar covers both the 't' and the 'e' to represent 'tem', producing octembre. This is similar to the 've' in the marginalia on f73r, where a bar covers both the 'v' and the 'e' to represent 'vem' changing novebre into novembre.

From this, I'm starting to think that I could be wrong that the 'cz' glyphs under the bar in the You are not allowed to view links.

In view of octebre, I can now envision the 'cz' glyphs as representing the Latin letters 'pō' (if written in a right to left direction the z glyph is the 'p' and long c the ō) which would then expand into 'pon'.

Combinations of two letters, called 'gates', was a central theme. Look at the interior of the wheels of the Merkabah on f57v:



We see four individuals in the middle, each with his back to one of the four transliteration alphabets of 17 letters, each with an arm raised and pointing to the opposite set of the alphabet letters. What if we have a consonantary of 17 characters alternating with a vocalization of 17 characters? Then, for example, Mem (m) might lie opposite the 'e' of 'Yahowe' to give us 'ē', and Nun (n) might lie opposite the 'o' of 'Yihwo' to give us 'ō'. Just a thought. There are other possibilities.
