If the wheels operate independently it would be easy to split the words into independent parts. This way we would be able to determine the number of wheels as well as the states for each wheel.
But in the case of Voynichese the parts depend on each other. Stolfi writes: "In Voynichese daiin, qokeedy and qokaiin are all very popular (866, 305, 266 occurrences, respectivey), while deedy is essentially nonexistent (3 occurrences). Our paradigm fails to notice this assymetry, since it allows independent choices between d- and qok-, and between -aiin and -eedy." You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Stolfi is splitting common Voynich words like daiin or qokeedy into two parts. Tiltman also splits Voynichese into two parts. Didn't that mean that we should assume the existence of only two wheels?
