Here is another possibility: Perhaps I was wrong about the first word "geio-pan" as well. Koen already pointed out a big problem with it. Well, perhaps the first letter, the Voynich gallows letter [t], is not an actual letter in the text at all, but just a "pilcrow" paragraph marker.
I agree: it's possible that the rest of the line is correct, even if you suggest that it isn't because it's also possible that the first letter is a pilcrow. It's possible that the text is Greek, it's possible that it is Hebrew, it's possible that it is proto-Italic....
I take this statement to mean that you can't find any specific criticisms to make of my latest version of the line, "eipan tis ipeirous otan skiais tis, eipan oun...", especially in light of the ambiguous vowel representation in Judaeo-Greek as noted in the historical Greek text in Hebrew script posted in this thread.
