Was Voynichese meant to be pronounced?

[MarcoP]

if one applies a tool that separates vowels and consonants to a transcription of the Voynich MS, then this tool will provide an answer. It just applies a pre-defined logic and it won't say: "sorry, I can't do it".

Hi Rene,
you are right of course. The level of the alternation in the resulting classification depends on properties of the input data, but this is probably irrelevant.

For instance, using Sukhotin's algorithm, one can replace supposed vowels with 'o' and supposed consonants with 'C'. For the first lines of Dante's Divina Commedia, one gets:

nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
che la diritta via era smarrita

CoC CoCCo CoC CoCCoC Co CoCCCo CoCo
Co CoCCoCoo CoC oCo CoCCo oCCoCo
Coo Co CoCoCCo Coo oCo CCoCCoCo

For the first lines of the VMS using CUVA:

FASYC YKAL AR ATAM ZOL ZORY Y KOR ZOLDY
CORY KSAR ORY KAIR STAM ZAR ACE TSAR TSARDAI
CYANR ZEKY OR YKAM ZOD TSOARY TSEC DARAM CY

CoCoC oCoC oC oCoC CoC CoCo o CoC CoCCo
CoCo CCoC oCo CoCC CCoC CoC oCo CCoC CCoCCoC
CooCC CoCo oC oCoC CoC CCooCo CCoC CoCoC Co

For a random text:

ztcuij noelu cgmjgqbv dt fpdevas zz rimziojupb

oo CCC CoCCoCoo CoooCoCooCoC CoooooCo CCC ooCoCCCo
oooo CoCoCCCCCooC oooCoCooCoCC CC CCooCCoCo CoCCCo

For a random text, one does not get a high rate of o-C alternation: results show a higher number of consecutive 'oo' and 'CC'. I guess this just means that Voynichese words are not "random", something that is well known.

From my own analysis, I do not see a clear separation between vowels and consonants, as shown You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

This is a strong point against the idea that Voynichese could have been meant to be pronounceable.
