The incompatibility of Voynichese with natural human language

[ReneZ]

The lack of longer repeated sequences is also an example of a statistic based on certain assumptions:
- the word groups we see are indeed words
- spelling is reasonably consistent
- there are no null characters
- the different character shapes are indeed different letters

The last bullet may be surprising, and it is one of these 'automatic' assumptions. However, if one just made the though experiment that e , ee , eee are equivalent, then the number or repeated sequences will increase.

Exact word repetitions are a bit more tricky. Of the four bullets above, only the first one would still remain valid.
