Register or Login to view.There is the "arc" symbol in the VMS represented as extended EVA &163. (There is also &140, I'm not sure what's the difference between the two, but it seems that &163 is the one I am referring to).The arc symbol is used again and again and most likely denotes an abbreviation, similar to the horizontal stroke. No insult meant, but all of you should read the Cappelli introduction some time.

Dear Helmut,
First of all, no insult taken, but please don't think that we are all here not acquainted with Cappelli.
Second, could you please explain in more detail the "likelihood" that &163 denotes an abbreviation in the VMS? I guess you won't dispute the fact that if we substitute medieval Latin abbreviations for Voynich Manuscript characters, the results won't be promising?
