qo and the 15.5% factor

[Voynichgibberish]

These bigrams were stripped from Genesis and 2 Samuel of the Latin Vulgate Bible.  These are all the first two characters from the words within these texts for a total of 34049.

"et" was the highest stripped bigram return with 2586 for about 7.5% of the text.

I will look at English, German and Italian to see if You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  is an anomaly.  I believe You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  was used to shorten Latin words during the copy process, meaning You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. really shortens the length for what was 4 tokens.  I simply believe the Author of the VMS found a lazy way to not right out all text and to hide Latin as the language.  If I'm correct and I find You are not allowed to view links.

Here is the code to find bigrams or the first two characters from words:

Code:

# dictionary to store count of each word (2 characters) eg. "an": 2 wordDict = {} file = open("C:\python37\Genesis2SamLatinV.txt", 'r') # read each line in file for line in file:     # read each word in line     for word in line.split():         # get only first two letters of word         word = word[:2]         # If word is not in dictionary then add it         if word not in wordDict:           wordDict[word] = 1         # else increment the count         else:           wordDict[word] += 1 file.close() # print all values for key, val in wordDict.items():   print(key, val) # print total print(f"Total: {sum(wordDict.values())}")

Code:
