Register or Login to view.Sticking with f85r(1), note how the page ends with a single centre aligned sentence of four words. Could well be a valediction or something. (Voynichese.com reads it as five words). All are common words except for the middle one, olpchdy, which is unique.
But the most interesting bit is this paragraph:
What would cause that right hand justification of text? Obviously the scribe started the next paragraph, then after a couple of words realised he had forgotten to finish the above paragraph!!! So he had to squeeze it in.
Things like this are really the only counter-proof to the many "nonsensical-texts" theories out there. If the text has no meaning, why do this?
It is also an indication that this text is being copied from a source.
I don't think it's obvious that the scribe forgot to finish the above paragraph. I think there might be another explanation. There are numerous partial lines in the VMS in the middle and on the right-hand side (including on the first page).
It's possible that when he started the NEXT paragraph (after writing the partial line), he forgot there was a dangling line on the previous line and thus didn't move down far enough on the left to accommodate it and ended up having to curve the text under it to work around his mistake.
