geoffreycaveney's Judaeo-Greek theory

[MarcoP]

About the Greek grammar: The definite article is ubiquitous in Greek. One scholar of Greek described its role by saying that basically, you can put the definite article in front of any Greek word and it makes the word a noun. Of course this is an exaggeration, but it illustrates the ubiquitous role of the definite article in Greek.

Italian (and English?) work similarly, so it seems reasonable that article+adjective is OK in Greek too. 

I think the presence of the definite article in Greek labels or titles deserves some investigation: initial o- is particularly frequent in Voynich labels, so languages that show some evidence of a similar behaviour are particularly good candidates. Other languages remain in the everything-is-possible category. 
But o- is far from being mandatory (it appears in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. of the "pharma" labels). I find this stuff quite non-boring, but honestly I don't have the time to research everything I find interesting.

I wish people presented the actual evidence supporting their ideas more often, because in general I find the evidence more instructive than the ideas. This is just my personal preference and I accept that others have a different approach to the hobby.
