Engineering your own voynich

[Emma May Smith]

So far, just looking at some stats:

• 234 words
  
• 22 glyphs (though not convinced that the capital letters are just variants of their lower case counterparts)
  
• Most words have relatively few tokens. Four is the highest I can find, but will double check.
  
• Many words have a structure which suggests they're made from two segments (note the last word 'Ka' appears to be a single segment). The lists of first and second segments don't appear to overlap.
  
• This would suggest that plaintext letters have two possible encodings: first or second. The list used depends on whether it is the first of second segment in a cipher words.
  
• The ciphertext is bound to the simple pattern: 12_12_12_12_12_12 and so on. The spaces between words don't seem to count (although some might).
  
• There may be a segment which indicates a space or the start of a new sentence.
  
• 'bar' is the most interesting word, as It's the only one which begins 'b'. Could suggest a particular digraph
  

byatan, please don't give the solution yet, even if you wish to say I'm on the right track. I will keep working on the text til I get it all (or somebody else does).
