Morten: "JP, Your remarks here leave little doubt that you suspect something Germanic behind the VMS."

Why do you assume that?????

I'm blown away that you would say that.

I've never ever once said or even implied that the VMS main text might be germanic. I have no idea what language it is, assuming there is a medieval natural language behind it. Maybe it is a germanic language but I've seen no evidence for that yet. It could be anything.


Whoever wrote the text on 116v might have added the text 20 years after the VMS was created and not known anything about the actual VMS glyphs. I'm HOPING they were contemporary with the creation of the VMS because it simplifies the research process (a bit) and there are two VMS tokens on the folio that suggest MAYBE they understood Voynichese, but just because there are half a dozen German words on the last folio doesn't mean there's a germanic language encoded into the VMS.

In fact, I very much doubt that the person who wrote the German words on 116v was a German speaker. It's written as though by someone who DOESN'T know German very well (the grammar is off).
