frequent Voynich vords in Slavic VCI and West Slavic languages
#34
And this may be an especially interesting comparison: The first paragraph of my Sorbian message, and then the result after encrypting it into Voynich EVA transcription--aiming for the most "Voynichese"-like vord structure possible--and then decrypting the latter back into my Slavic VCI interpretation:

"Waženy [*****],
Pisam Wam, přetož [*****] je doporučił mi wobroćić so na Was z woprašenjom na tule wěc. Slědźu tajny rukopis Wojniča (Voynicha) a sym wotkrył někotre daty wo tym, zo móžnje je napisan serbskej reču. Mam wulki zajim čitać Waše komentary k mojemu slědźenju."

<wžé# ni# ...>
<Piz M# w M# Pře# To ž# ...> <je# do po r u ciw mi# wo> <b# ro ci# c# so n# was z wo> <p# raše# njo m# n# tu w wjec#> <z ljedźu tj# ni# r u ko piz> <wo j# nic# wo j# nic# si# m# wo> <kriw né# ko trje# d# ti# wo ti#> <m# zo mo ž# nje# je# n# pi#> <z n# zr b# ske# re# cu m# m# wu ki#> <z j# m# ci# t# c# w še# ko mé# n#> <tri# k# mo je# mu z ljedźe# nju>

I believe that with some practice and experience with the system, the latter reading would be comprehensible by a Sorbian speaker as representing the Sorbian text above it. It is notable that "a" often seems to be an unwritten "default" vowel, except in particular contexts.
