But this knife cuts both ways. This thread was prompted by Rugg's statement: "But the words in the Voynich Manuscript You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. in their order. That reason alone is enough to eliminate all known languages from being candidates..."
This reason alone is clearly not enough to eliminate natural languages.
We all see the same manuscript and we all describe the same features. There is no discussion if we describe the VMS-text correctly or if it is possible to describe another interesting feature. If you look into past mail threads this was not always the case:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Today there is only this fruitless discussion that it is not allowed to eliminate natural languages and that it is not allowed to argue that the only purpose of the VMS-text was to look like language. Why it is unthinkable in your eyes that the text doesn't mean anything? Why it is unthinkable in your eyes that the VMS is just some kind of art like the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.?
