Which other manuscript contain the most Voynichese glyphs?

[geoffreycaveney]

Many of the VMS characters are normal characters from Latin scribal conventions (alphabet + ligatures + abbreviations).

These characters are common in languages that use Latin conventions:

a c e d g m ch h i k n o r s u y 

and if you include numerals l q d 

the x also occurs but is less common.

The char at the end of the first row y is not a "g", it is the abbreviation symbol for "-us" which is typically used at the ends of words.

We need to get some grant money for JKP to take a sabbatical from his day job for a year and finally finish writing up all of his enormous amount of information about medieval manuscripts and scripts and letterforms.

I also note that according to my understanding, while the "-us" suffix is the most common use of the medieval Latin scribal abbreviation symbol that resembles EVA [y], it may also be used to represent Latin "cum" ("with") or the prefix "con-" (also meaning "with").
