[split] Diplomatic ciphers

[-JKP-]

VViews & JKP: That exactly fits with my previous suggestion and so would fit with my notion of an "atypical" diplomatic cipher.

This suggestion being that sequences of Voynich characters map to individual letters, sequences of letters or nulls.

So for example:

"#$" -> "g"
"@%%" -> "fa"
"$&&%#" -> ""     i.e. null

Mark, you need to look at the VMS text. It is positional. Substitution ciphers, even if they are many-to-one and one-to-many are not positional in the same way as the VMS. They are also not the same in terms of the number of glyphs that are required to create such a system.
