Ideas for Moving Voynich Research Forward
#16
In my eyes the research method is at least as important as the research results. Starting point for my research was the idea that it is necessary to find a way to limit the amount of text to look at. My idea was to check only words occurring exactly 7 or 8 times in the VMS (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., p. 13). This approach allowed a detailed examination for all the selected word instances. At the same time, there is no reason to believe that these words behave differently from any others, since they represent a representative sample. 

The first pattern I was able to spot is the following one: One word that exists only 8 times in the VMS is the word 'dsheey' (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) and one word with seven occurrences is the word 'dalam' (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). The word 'dsheey' exists in seven out of eight instances at the start of a line and the word 'dalam' exists in six out of seven cases at the end of a line. This way it was possible to find characteristic patterns in the Voynich text and in the end to reconstruct the text generation method behind the Voynich text (see You are not allowed to view links.
