If these were prefixes of words, they would also not have been written independently. But the word OY (AY) could also be written independently. If you write the prefixes separately, they won't make any sense.
I like to thank you for your effort to try to defend your theory against my challenge. I know it is frustrating, but this will prepare you for the questions that are going to come your way when your books will be printed. You tried to give me sophisticated answers, but they are not convincing.
You are so stuck in your way of thinking that you don't even realize that the VM is written mostly in Latin letters, and that the authors of EVA never claimed it to be used for transcription into Latin letters. It is meant to be used as a common denominator: ATA-OY in EVA-OT, which is also OT in my transliteration alphabet. It is true that the T looks somewhat different than the Latin T, but most of the transliterations regard it as T, as a matter of fact, the Turkish linguists who developed contemporary Turkish alphabet, also regard it as T, and not as Y. I would understand if you designated it as D, since the D and T are often used interchangeable, particularly in phonetic writing.
I don't consider my transliterations anagrams. I showed you 100 words where letter-to-letter substitution is possible with my transliteration alphabet, and no other manipulation is needed for sound and spelling. Those are Slovenian words that existed in the 15th century and are still used today in dialectal speech. You can not do that with your 120-character transliteration alphabet. I understand that the adjustment for sound and spelling in necessary, but you cannot just make up the rules as you go along and claim that OY can be interpreted as AY, OYER, O YAR, OYER, EGER. After all, you are claiming that the author needed 120 characters to spell the words precisely.
You are rationalizing the VM writing with the mind of a contemporary high-school student who has no ideal what was, and what was not possible in the Middle Ages. A travelling writer did not carry with him computer to look up for sophisticated Turkish words from various dialects and from ancient Etruscan words. The words he would learn would be simple, everyday words that were in use at the time. There were no 3000-page dictionaries, either. I imagine the vocabulary expanded in the past 600 years, and many ancient words were discovered by way of inscription, or by global communication.
In Slovenian 1600-page dictionary, I have found 1200 different words starting with OD and another 200 starting with OT (ATA-OY). In most of the words starting with OD and OT (they sound similar), the OD and OT are prefixes, and some of them are the roots of different words.
When the same prefix is attached to the words that can have different prefixes and different suffixes, they are prefixes.
A free-standing OD is one of the most frequently used Slovenian preposition, meaning 'from', 'of'. It is often used with nouns in genitive case to express ownership, belonging, origin.
Here, you see, is my case for the prefixes in the Voynich Manuscript.
We cannot take your word for it, because your reasoning is: Voynich Manuscript is written in Turkish, Turkish has no prefixes, therefore there cannot be prefixes in the VM.
By the way, the AY is not the only prefix in the VM, there are plenty more, such as EVA-QO, etc.
I hope that your Turkish experts will help you to transcribe and explain the next 90 percent of the VM soon.
Sincerely,
Cvetka
