Identifying function words

[nablator]

While I don't think that something like a diplomatic cipher is possible, a nomenclator with different cipher words for each "source" word could partially explain what we observe here. I think this is what nablator meant in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

I imagine that the Voynichese generating system is more flexible and easy to use than a large nomenclator. It can produce many possible strings for each string of cleartext, most of which are never used because of some (variable) constraints and preferences. A possible ambiguity can exist if the system is stateful, i.e. what precedes matters, so the same Voynichese string may be used to encipher several (I have worked with 2) different strings of cleartext.

I know how it sounds, comp-sci-ish and unlikely for the 15th century, but I am considering only a practical implementation that is close in complexity to the simplest board games, without any physical action (like rewriting or moving physical objects) or boring computation (mathematical or list look-up).
