Gavin, I suggest that you propose your method in a structured version here so that we can impartially evaluate your mechanism. Giving us hints and suggestions just makes people lose interest.
We would be delighted to have a look at your method.
Ok I think it is time to give a little extract from my method. It seems to be necessary.
First I will give you two words from the calendar (57 v):
1. ofol -> olojai -> olojai (basque for english: feast of oats)
-> describes a lunar month between the 8th of July and the 5th of August
-> the last letter of the Voynichese word is mostly used as a double - letter like "ja", "ha" or "jai" (at the end of a word), but it can stand alone as a "j"
2. aros -> arros -> arrosa (basque for english: rose)
-> describes a lunar month between the 4th of September and the 3th of October
-> the second letter of the Voynichese word is a double "r"
-> there is another letter which is used as a simple "r"
And now I will give you a sentence from the page 2v:
You should know for this, that the water lily is also often called Nymphea. That´s her scientific name.
Also there is a handwriting problem in the script. You can hardly announce if the writer wrote "ir" or "h"
1. Unchanged Voynichese:
kehfeor e+hy daiiin cheKoy se+hey dor ehol daiin dor chol chor chol keol
2. Latinised Voynichese:
ñirfeor iry eaink hiñoy txirig eorr iroja eank eorr hoja horr hoja ñioja
3. root line (Voynichese mirrored through the Basque language):
Nenufar irekiak hi txikik noiz orrirojek hor hoja hor hoja niojar.
loan words: roja = span.: red
hoja = sp.: leaf / flower
niojar = verb from sp. (enojo) = annoyance
3b: case line:
Object in absolutive case (noun + adjective + suffix), subject in ergative case, verb (2nd person sg.), conjunction, subject in ergativ (double-word noun + suffix), adverb, object in absolutive case (noun + article + noun), verb (3rd person sg.).
4. German translation:
Offene Seerosen schneidest du, wenn rotes Laub dort Blatt und Blüte ärgert.
5. English translation:
You cut open water lilies, as soon as red leaves are annoying leaf and flower there.
