[Article] Does network complexity help organize Babel’s library?

[MarcoP]

I bring an example:
In the past: "brings zlaufä"
today: "bring's z'laufä"
German: "bring es zum laufen". It's actually 4 words.
It's usually two words in one. Not only s, and z, have a meaning. Also e, i, a, d, etc.
Therefore a connection German Latin is well possible, (from the alemanic view).

As You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., low conditional entropy suggests that Voynichese words result from expansion. Your example is the opposite: some kind of compression / contraction, resulting in new digraphs like 'gs' and 'zl'. You are again providing evidence that contradicts your idea.

Anyway, I didn't say (and I don't think) it is impossible that it is German Latin. I think it is just as possible that it is English, Italian, Hungarian, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, Urdu or Chinese.

Why do you think so many words begin with o ?

I have no idea.

Scholars like Stephen Carlson and Jürgen Hermes have pointed out that the algorithmic-gibberish theory by Timm and Schinner is the best available. I think that, until we found an actual written text that exhibits something like Voynichese o-, qo-, qot-, qok-, Currier A/B, reduplication, quasi-reduplication etc., things will not change. I would like to fully understand this paper by Cárdenas et al. because I hope it could help us understand more of the relationship between Voynichese and other written texts.
