Cribs in the Voynich MS

[Mark Knowles]

Also, the labels themselves are also very similar to each other.

Not all the labels in your list are very similar to the other ones.
I wonder if we removed from the list all words with a one symbol difference from another word in the list what it would look like.

So for example:

okol    and    otol      are one symbol different from each other


There are definitely some words with quite distinctive spellings, maybe those are the "true" words or at least the ones we should be most interested in.

Also with specific names one would not expect them to occur very often throughout the Voynich manuscript, so if they are often repeated in the manuscript one might be suspicious of them.
