From "decryption" to "translation"

[geoffreycaveney]

Well, even with the many assumptions that you made in terms of spelling, you can see that this fails the test, unless in Greek we have some celestial body or constellation called "birdcage" or plant called "estate", etc. That's the problem for the theory of Voynich labels  as plain designators.

This has been attempted by linguists before, most notably by late Prof. Stephen Bax, and they have not been very successful with the labels.

Yes, but so far I have only covered "oikos" and "oikeios". 

According to my Judaeo-Greek theory, a form such as [otol] could also have represented "okos", "okose", "ogos", "ogose", "okas", "okase", "ogas", "ogase", "okaus", "okause", "ogaus", "ogause", "akas", "akase", "agas", "agase", "akos", "akose", "agos", "agose", "akaus", "akause", "agaus", "agause", "aukos", "aukose", "augos", "augose", "aukas", "aukase", "augas", "augase", "aukaus", "aukause", "augaus", "augause", and in fact many more variants of all of these forms, with unwritten diphthongs, with the first vowel separate from the root, with other final vowels, etc.

Or alternatively, [l] could be "n", and we would have to go through the whole list word by word with "n" instead of "s".

It will take at least many months if not years to research all the possible meanings, just for this one word [otol].
