The author concludes:

This pronounced repetitive behavior on the word level is fully incompatible with the natural languages in which the similar word re-occurrence rate function amounts to be zero at zero word separation and it increases until reaching a maximum at some finite word separations (Schinner 2007; Timm 2016).

The intriguing multilateral statistical-linguistic matches we revealed between the VMS Herbal Section (folios 5r-38v) and the magical Tables of Liber Loagaeth render them into the same linguistic university class.

This suggests that most likely the Voynich manuscript carries no rationally comprehensible content, offering also a plausible explanation why the ciphertext was unbreakable so far. These inferences together with its fantastic, yet contemporary credible illustrations render the Voynich manuscript most likely an elaborate hoax.
