Perhaps one hears what one wants to hear.
What I think I heard is that:
- there is a similarity in shape and the Voynich characters may have been inspired by them
- she rather believes that they do not have the same semantic meaning
That is what JKP has been saying (repeatedly) and my opinion is the same.
First of all JKP does not say "the Voynich characters MAY have been inspired by them", he says, "the Voynich characters WERE inspired by them" as he classifies them that way.(In fact he really is saying that they ARE them.)
JKP says "They are called medieval Latin characters/ligatures/abbreviations."
This is a big distinction.
I said "It is misleading to characterise these symbols that way."
