A term suggestion for Voynichese "words"
#2
I actually like the idea of vords... the only problem being that newcomers won't get it and will be  constantly correcting it.


I've been calling them glyph-groups, words, letter chunks, and a few things that are not repeatable in polite company, without being fully satisfied with any of them. Even word-tokens doesn't quite work.

I suppose VorMs would be stretching it, but they often feel that way to me—little parasites infecting the page just enough to keep our attention. The work hunks is already taken and might attract the wrong audience through Google.


Glyph-groups could be gloups.
