Register or Login to view.In fact it seems to me that the overwhelming weight of Voynich research has been looking at the patterns and structures of those words that I see as fillers not the unusual words that I am most interested in which I think are often discounted as though they were just background noise.
How can we prove which scenario is closest to the truth?
I think to me what seems to be the best way to do this is to identify and isolate Voynichese text that stands out as unusual when compared with most other Voynichese text. Then the larger the collection of the most unusual text that I can find the better. My inclination is then to study that text in isolation looking a glyph frequencies and other simple measurements with the hope that the underlying encoding is not too complicated.
I have discussed the potential use of string functions to more precisely separate the two types of text. Which function is best is not completely clear to me yet.
