The incredible unravelling of the Voynich Manuscript
#58
I think it's a big mistake to zoom in on little sections and try to interpret those.

It's very easy to turn little sections into one language or another, but then when you try it on larger sections it almost never works.

That's what has happened to countless people who have claimed solutions. They think they have solved a word here or there (Stephen Bax for example, found 12 words that seemed to work) and then they get very excited about it (assuming it will work on more). But they discover later (sometimes much later) that their system doesn't generalize to larger sections and the initial impression was a coincidence.


If there is meaning within Voynichese, I think the solution will probably come from a more wholistic approach.
