A possible way to break down Voynich text

[-JKP-]

Thomas, just so you know, when I was commenting on unique word-tokens, I wasn't talking specifically about your line of thought but in general.

Taking the approach of deconstructing the text and looking across spaces to find the patterns naturally leads to going in the other direction as well... of putting in spaces where they might be intentionally missing.

A number of people have proposed that "unique" vords might be names, for example, and I thought that was a reasonable idea to consider, but soon noticed that many of these "unique" words aren't unique at all but oftentimes a combination of two common vords, which led me to suspect that spaces might be either artificial or carefully contrived. It's a challenging problem algorithm-wise even if the components are correctly identified since the insertion or removal of spaces doesn't have to follow a regular pattern. But... given the regularity of the individual parts and the frequent patterns in word beginnings and ends, I'm leaning toward them being contrived, which makes it a slightly less intractable problem.
