Matching Plant Images Internally

[Mark Knowles]

A thought that occurred to me is to do with the internal matching of images in general within the Voynich. Now outside of plants it is hard to see how this would work.

My thought is in terms of carrying out a large scale statistical textual comparison.

Nymph image
Star image
Specific Root
Specific Leaf
Specific Flower

The default hypothesis would seem to be that meaning of text corresponds with drawings. It is possible that this is not the case. In this eventuality the text of the Voynich could be meaningful, but the drawings made up to distract and obscure the true meaning. The idea that the Voynich text is not a hoax, but the Voynich drawings are a hoax seems unlikely to me given the sheer amount of effort put into producing the drawings, still maybe it should not be discounted too quickly as it could help explain a number of things.

Obviously the advantage of any internal match compared with a direct match is that it is not necessary to known the language/cipher used.
