Word Entropy

[nablator]

Conclusion: Voynichese does not behave abnormally as far as word entropy goes.

If this conclusion is true, then it speaks against vord shuffling, does it not?

(Values for entire TT with unclear "?" vords removed):

h0         h1         h2
12.97    10.45    4.36

When vords are randomly shuffled h2 increases:
12.97    10.45    4.52

There are enough repetitions of 2-vord patterns for this and, more generally, correlations between a vord and the next. But some reordering could still take place. For example, if every even-indexed vord is moved elsewhere (different line, different page) then for each repeated 3- or 4-vord pattern a repeated 2-vord pattern would remain.
