External text lookup

[Mark Knowles]

Mark, did you read the links?

The whole idea can only be conceived in the presence of standard printed text.

Rene, yes I read the page that you linked to. I daresay that some forms of book lookup method would require a printed text. However I would think it more than conceivable to have a book lookup that did not require a printed text.

As a simple example what if you select a word number in sequence from a text and the Voynich word was simply a number, which would fit neatly with positionality, I imagine. So ->

The Voynich word could be translate into 300 + 40 + 7
Which equal 347, so you can then find the 347th word in the text and substitute that. How does that method require a printed text?

There are obviously other methods of looking up words that could be used.
