[Article] Word Probability Findings in the Voynich Manuscript

[Torsten]

There is a new paper from 2020 about the VMS: "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view."
The paper is available from the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. website: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

The authors demonstrate that less probable words in the VMs "not only contain more sounds, they also contain sounds that convey more disambiguating information overall". With other words they demonstrate that low-frequency word types also tend to have low numbers of similar words.
