Quote:The rules of the “slot alphabet” are essentially as follows:
• A glyph can be followed by a glyph in the same or a higher-numbered slot.
The "slot alphabet" is a transliteration alphabet. The rules of "regular" words (51% of all word types in M. Zattera's transliteration) are described in a grammar (state machine) in figure 4. It does not allow a glyph to be followed by a glyph in the same slot, except in slots 6 and 9 (e and i repetitions). It does not allow any higher-numbered slot either.
A simple 12-slot sequence-enforcing rule will not generate good Voynichese: more constraints are needed.
