What are the characteristics of Labelese?

[Mark Knowles]

One thing that I mentioned on Nick's blog, but that I also thought worth mentioning here is that if we have a large amount of filler text(null words) then most of the statistical tests applied to Voynichese are likely to be of very little use as they provide statistics related to the aggregate of null and non-null text, which are quite different things, and therefore those statistics don't tell us much about either of those.
