Register or Login to view.It seems to me that the proposed mapping between Voynich glyphs and Persian letters should address the frequencies of the respective symbol sets.I just noticed here some vowels from Table 1 are confused with other vowels/letters, for A it should be ـَ and for V it should be ـُ
If we use the v101 transliteration, herbal section, as the corpus of reference, as illustrated in the tables below, there is in most cases a large difference between the frequency of the Voynich glyph (or glyphs) and that of the Persian letter (or letters) proposed to correspond.
The Persian letter frequencies are from a corpus of modern Persian, and the frequency analysis would be better if based on Middle Persian (for example the Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyam); but I'm inclined to think that the frequencies in Middle Persian would not be much different.
ـُ is basically an O, while ء is pronounced like ae similar to ع
