Let there be meaning

[oshfdk]

I think I demonstrated just that in my article.

I meant with Voynichese.

With Voynichese I tried some analysis by manually annotating points on a few pages, but with no conclusive results. Nothing in the data strongly supported a distance cipher.

However, I was mostly looking for a simple distance cipher as described in Cryptomenytices or in Vignère's work. My motivation with the cipher I designed for my text was exactly to try envisioning something that could work with Voynich irregular distance patterns and using a combination of principles known from documented distance ciphers.

I deciphered you short exercise. Your bar '|' is at a place where there is no unpaired letter left (there are other places). Not really useful, unless someone wants to skip a part.

It's not useful in this example, but it demonstrates that the cipher can include arbitrary extraneous marks, denoting boundaries of cipher structures or plaintext words, sentences or reordering encoded chunks on the page
