The above examples are very hardcore. if I haven't seen them, I wouldn't believe that people shortened their texts so much.
Okay, I actually once had a mate at school who was lazy (or maybe writing not fast enough) and shortened words this way
while making notes. Later he couldn't read himself
I personally have the same intuition that Voynich plaintext must be heavily shortened.
But there must be something more. Abbreviations don't explain everything. There must be some cipher used which is more advanced than just substution cipher.
Anyway I'm curious to see some parts of text being deciphered by Helmut.
