A possible way to break down Voynich text

In the topmost scan it is not m but g.

Quote:The fact that c9 also appears is not a problem to me -
Actually, that may reinforce my idea that ch is just  ee:
ch = ee
c9 = ey
co = eo

I believe there are many more examples with the "unusual" crossbar. If Wladimir reads this thread maybe he will refresh the example (I can't find it...)

That's good, but three folios are insufficient to make conclusions. Ideally, the whole corpus should be analyzed. But the fact that the three folios picked at once gave high compatibility is suggesting indeed.

Quote:I do admit that I am making the (reasonable) assumption that cTh may be broken into ch t and likewise for cKh

Consider e.g. this post, screenshots 2 - 6: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

...What I forgot to mention is one very important consideration. At least some EVA characters appear to have standalone significance. Consider  columns in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or circles in f57v. These might represent a negligible percentage of the overall corpus, but it's clear that those cannot be attributed to scribal errors.
