Discussion of "A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript"

[Emma May Smith]

It seems like the language network graphs are also wonky. Vietnamese look particularly bad, but it's easier to point out the errors on the Greek graph:

• Multiple single letters are shown as being unconnected to anything despite two letter words which contain that letter existing elsewhere in the graph.
  
• [ll] occurs at least twice unconnected by any chain.
  
• [mn] occurs in two different networks.
  
• [ma] and [mo] are unconnected to either of the two [mn] despite an "edit distance" of one.
  
• [ot'] is unconnected to [tot'] despite an "edit distance" of one.
  
• [de] is connected to, um, [de], but not to anything else.
  
• [o] is connected to both [oe] and [ok], but not [ot].
  

Why is it full of errors like this?

Please look into the greek You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. The text is using stress marks. What you interpret as [de] is in fact written as δὲ and δέ. Anyway, do you really believe that the picture for Greek becomes different if the marks are removed?

Hi Torsten, there are no such stress marks represented on the words in question, though they are represented on other words. Besides, that only accounts for one or my objections. Nor does it account for the weirdness in the Vietnamese graph.

This could all be very quickly cleared up if you gave us access to your paper. I'm keen to know if you're made any advance from five years ago, as You are not allowed to view links.

Cryptologia will have given you a certain number of free to access papers you can share with your peers, and you also have the right to share preprint versions of the paper. Can you at least state that you will do this at some point in the future?
