Helmut: Your point is good one I think. You are right we can't say for certain what shapes any of the Voynich symbols correspond to, though I think one can have some degree of confidence that an "8" is an "8"...


Why? The figure-8 was used as the letter s or the letter d in manuscripts far more often than numbers. Some manuscripts have no numbers at all but they have the d character in abundance. How can you be confident it is an 8?
