I distinctly remember from the time that I did the collaborative transliteration with Gabriel Landini, that I found the 'language', or perhaps rather 'patterns', of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. particularly interesting.
Having just gone through the herbal pages with the alternating Currier A and B languages, this felt different, though more similar to B than to A.
At the time, I was still suspecting that the (more-or-less) cleartext on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. was a translator's attempt to convert a piece of Voynich text to plaintext, and we just needed to find a case of "aror sheey" in the MS to locate that piece. Ideally, the character translations would match the readable part of the alphabet on f1r, and then the case would be settled. Of course, that did not happen.
However, when going through these two pages, I had this hunch that this was quite "aror sheey" like language.
(I believe there is one occurrence of these two words in Q20 somewhere, but that also has not led to any such matching).
Indeed, as Nick indicates on the linked page, I have long had a feeling that there is a 'transition language'.
The clearest evidence (to me) is a tiny detail in one of the plots I recently did again for my conference talk.
It is shown below.
This shows the fraction of "ed" bigrams over the pages. The light grey crosses are the zodiac pages, which we know are in the right order, and should realistically be of similar subject matter. Here we see the "ed" bigram count increase from zero to something distinctly non-zero.
The zodiac pages consist of circular text and labels, and the vast majority of these bigrams occur in the circular text, where also the increase is being observed. However, the increase is also seen in the labels. In the early signs, they do not occur. In the later signs they start to appear.
Now where are You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. in this scheme? Unfortunately, right now I suspect that these pages were labeled (by me) as text-only, and they are not part of these plots at all. I will look into that in order to check. In any case, in the update of the ZL and GC files I did the other day, I had just re-labeled them as "pages with marginal stars", so it will be very easy to include them now.
There is more about You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. which is on a different topic, so I will write that in a different thread.
