Successful translation ?

[ReneZ]

Another problem of only looking at decryption, and not at the encryption step, is that one can come up with character mapping tables that are anywhere from unlikely to impossible.

there is a mapping from Voynichese to plain text. I already indicated in that thread that, what we need to see is the table that the author would have used. I try to create it here, by inverting the given table (see at the bottom). This maps plain text to Voynichese.

It should be clear that this table is unusable for encryption for various reasons:

- b, c, g, h, j, k, p, v, w, x, y, z  are missing. They are not allowed to appear in the plain text.
- s can only appear in the combinations 'es' and 'os'
- qu can only be followed by e
- u can only be followed by l, n, r

With the table given by the author, one can map Voynichese to a text using latin characters. One cannot map a Latin text to Voynichese.

Inverse table follows, Latin to Voynichese:
