[split] Percentage of word types that occur more than once

[ReneZ]

There are several reasons why the results for the Voynich text may be skewed.
We don't know, of course, what is the level of impact of each of these possible reasons, through one could try to simulate this if one wanted.

1. there are errors in the transliteration. These are likely to create (some) additional unique words
2. specifically, word spaces are likely to be misinterpreted. this has an impact on the word count.

For these two points, I can recommend to look at Table 3 on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , that shows a great spread in the number of unique words (word types).

3. The comparison texts are from printed sources, and do not contain errors. Any errors in the handwritten Voynich text would increase the number unique words (even when transliterated correctly).
