Register or Login to view.I'm sure somewhere in the forum and blogs, someone has probably provided their observations on the last word token in folio 24v, line 6.
It appears to be a 'correction' in that the scribe has added in a (missed) letter glyph.
Has anyone had or seen any thoughts about this particular anomaly in the Voynichese text?
It is hard to construe it as a correction. What needs correcting? Adding the extra letter to the vord wouldn't improve it and in fact would deform it. Unless the scribe was unhappy with a glyph and wanted to clarify it - but the vord is as as well written as any other on the page. Arguably, the initial letter is a malformed [cfh] but in that case how does the correction correct it?
I would hazard that they might both be original very rare glyphs, and not corrections,.the like of which can be found elsewhere.
