[split] Verbose cipher?

[Anton]

I would add "the drift from Currier A to Currier B".

Ah yes, definitely!

Entropy and too-low information content are often mentioned by those who criticise Voynichese as natural language. Knowing that h2 can be normalised while keeping h1 in check is good to know for a more nuanced discussion about these matters.

Yes, exactly. Traditionally, the low entropy has been used as the main argument against the NL-theories, but insofar it is shown that the entropies can be normalized by transformation of transliteration, this cannot be the decisive argument on its own now.

By the way. Just while writing this post, I invented useful abbreviations describing the well-known categories of VMS theories. They are:

NLT - natural language theory
CT - cipher theory
HT - hoax theory
MFT - modern forgery theory
