A sieve cipher based on f66r

Does that mean that air is to be treated as a sigle glyph elsewhere? And so on...

I wrote about these lists once: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Basically whenever Voynichese needs single glyphs, it's always the same suspects: s, y, l, o, r, d and gallows. And then there are a number of less frequent items, like rare glyphs and this "air". Like I wrote before, if our assumptions that these are single glyphs is true, then it means that EVA-a is like a first minim, part of a stroke sequence to form larger glyphs.

Another way of looking at it is to see which glyphs are not popular in these lists (and as standalone glyphs in the main text). If EVA-a were a full-blown glyph, it would appear in isolation much more often, and the same goes for eva-n.

Another hypothesis is of course that EVA-a does not appear here because it gets another shape when it's not part of an i-group, like the way a and y are complementary distributed.
