Alisa Gladyseva: Voynich manuscript is decoded

[-JKP-]

Monica, I don't know how Alisa has translated it yet, other than two words that appear to be abbreviated in different ways (which doesn't sound hopeful), so I don't have any opinions on her "solution" yet, but I agree that you are using a consistent repeatable approach. I was able to repeat your system to obtain most of the same "base" words you have in your translation. I say "base" words because there's still a lack of grammatical cohesiveness and a level of subjective interpretation in terms of "linking" the words, but your system is still MUCH more defendable than anything Cheshire has done.

Cheshire's method only works in a few spots and does not work on the manuscript as a whole and is more subjective in terms of word breaks and significantly more subjective in terms of word interpretation (he cherrypicks from whatever language suits his needs).
