Usefulness of categorizing words based on occurances in different parts of the MS?

The approach is good, however it is not clear how exactly to apply it.

Something in that direction was done in Montemurro & Zanette 2013 You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Wladimir's "Dulov's ratio" (as I personally call it) is a related concept.

Perhaps it would be useful to prepare a "key-value" dictionary of Voynich where each vord ("key") would have its affinity to a topic described ("value").

In particular, it would be of interest to learn whether a vord and its respective prefixed vords (e.g. "tol" on one hand and "otol" and "qotol" on the other hand) generally exhibit the same thematic affinity. That would shed light on whether prefixes are some kind of operators (like case modifiers or prepositions) or not.

Thanks for the informative reply!

I was not aware of the Montemurro & Zanette paper. I started reading it and some of the stuff they are describing is what I am looking for.

And yes, I agree with your idea about the words and prefixes.

It seems to me that a good programmer could be really useful for this kind of task.
