A 18x18 table or a bit smaller (not sure if the gallows k, t, f, p should be used as coordinates or not, they seem to be added, so they could have a different meaning, or have no meaning at all) can easily contain several Latin alphabets and multiple vowels added, and a few double letters like "qu", "us", "um". A zig-zag path that does not cross a filled cell or only crosses it when it changes direction does not encode anything. The empty cells and multiple alphabets leave a lot of freedom in the choice of paths for the same plaintext.
I would like to include a reference to your cipher idea in my next text, that will discuss certain structural properties of the Voynich manuscript text in the context of one-to-many ciphers. Which link should I list as the primary source?
