The incredible unravelling of the Voynich Manuscript

[-JKP-]

You devoted about 50 pages to the same Latin abbreviation conventions that I outlined in my blogs between 2013 and 2019, so the information about these conventions is already out there. The main difference is that you depend mostly on Cappelli, while I have posted examples from dozens of different manuscripts so that readers can see how these abbreviations were actually used in the context of medieval writings.

On page 107, you note that EVA-a and EVA-e, which you transliterate as "a" and "e", can be in any position in a Voynich "word". This does happen, but a and e are not very common in the end-position in the VMS, whereas they are very commonly at the end in Latin (often several times per line). This creates a big discrepancy in letter position between your proposed translation-system and actual Latin texts.


You have written about the letter o: "We always encounter this written character at the beginning of a word only in very short words."

This is simply not true. The "o" character is also at the beginning of longer words like otaldam, otchody, otolom, okolShol, olSheol, okechoked, otchorol otardam olchckhy, olchdaiin, oochockhy, Shocthol, and others.


You list an interpretation for d at the start or middle of a word, but it is also quite frequently at the ends of words, in both Currier A and Currier B (several hundred times).
