[Blog Post] A Universal Template

[ReneZ]

The comparison with English doesn't really hold. The only reason we are talking about word generation methods at all (slot method, square method, etc) is because there is this word paradigm with very restrictive rules.

The whole question is more complex of course. One could argue that the Voynich MS vocabulary actually includes invald words. Stolfi more or less does that.

This means that all four possibilities of: attested or not; valid or not; could exist.

My interest in these questions is just to see how we can find out the actual rules that were used to generate the text.
