Reference this table:
"Here's what you get if you compare the Herbal folios in Language A (1 through 56) with the Recipe folios in Language B (103 through 116):

(The table shows the top ten words in the combined folios, then broken out into the Language A and Language B folios.)"
I have problems with the above table. I do not understand where the frequency numbers for 4ohii9 come from in the first or third columns. I cannot find any occurrence of the word listed in Professor Stolfi's Concordance. I do not ever remember seeing it in the Voynich Manuscript, but have only transcribed up to about folio 99r so far, so I may not have come to it in the last section yet.
I thought the cause might be misprints (for 4ohcc9), but then noticed the glyph words - which shot that idea down.
Is this a made-up word with made-up numbers? Is someone trying to see if we're on our toes?
How good are the other statistics?
Has anyone actually counted the numbers of times each word occurs? Or even looked to see what the words are?
It would seem hard to get reliable information from the table, in my opinion.
What's going on?
Just wondering.
Thank you.
