1. Voynichese is mapped into the Latin alphabet by means of a conversion table
2. Resulting words are split/merged/altered in order to map them into similar words of the target language
3. Words are translated one by one, ignoring grammar
4. The result is reformulated into something meaningful
This is a very successful method: it literally can never fail. It is rightly popular.
Some other applications that were of course just as successful:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: does "pyarsh" mean "commentary" in Hebrew? Not exactly, you have to change two or three letters, but as Yokubinas says: this is "not the current Hebrew of today, but an agglutinative root word base, mainly old testament Hebrew root words"
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Does "agrosoriam" mean "to land" in Latin? No, but the manuscript is not "Classical Latin or classical Medieval Latin, and there is no need to kick at open door and compare them directly. Rather VMS is written in some form which mixes traits of Medieval, Vulgar and spoken Latin with artificial endings invented by the author." So, "agrosoriam" is fine!
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Is "ororasa" documented as a word meaning "pray and pray again" in any Romance language? No, but the manuscript is written in "proto-Italic and the language is a late dialect of Vulgar or Koinê Latin, which marks the transitional point between Classical Latin and the Romance languages". Also "the MS 408 alphabet and grammar were too simplified to accommodate certain linguistic components, so the author was forced to improvise. Or, perhaps the author had very limited Vulgar Latin vocabulary, as a linguistic foreigner."
Does "skiiois tis" mean "in the shadows" in Greek? No, but "the early 15th century was very late Byzantine Greek, it would have been different from Ancient Greek, different from Koine Greek, and different from Modern Greek" and the author could have made mistakes and/or he was playing word games.
