Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript

I will also answer your questions...

Now I repeat these questions and if you answer, we can move forward:

1- How should the occurrence of quadruple and fifth-times word repetitions, unique to Turkish, in VM texts be interpreted on a scientific level? Based on this info, What could this event mean in terms of mathematical possibilities, and to what extent could there be overlap between which languages?  You need to demonstrate that the way it happens in Voynichese is the way it happens in Turkish.  Going through all the parts where this occurs and providing sentences that wouldn't have been unusual for Turkish syntax would be a start.

2- Only in VM texts and Turkish; How should the situation of "words never begin or end with certain sounds/letters" be interpreted on a scientific level? Based on this info, What could this event mean in terms of mathematical possibilities, and to what extent could there be overlap between which languages?  It's not uncommon for languages to have certain phonemes that rarely/never occur at the start or end of words.  Voynichese's behaviour seems extremely excessive.  You need to demonstrate a correlation between the precise behaviour and what is seen in Turkish, and that this is a better correlation than other languages.  A good start would also be explaining what is behind line patterns.

3- Have words written with 5, 6, or 10 vowels or consonants side-by-side words been recorded in the history of Indo-European and Semitic languages?   Not sure why this is relevant when we haven't been able to identify which glyphs are vowels and which are consonants.

4- How many different text images/letters are there in VM texts?  You've already had this answer from others.  We don't know.

5- Is it possible that the VM texts could not be read due to incorrect transcription texts made so far?
Inability to know if we are parsing the glyphs correctly has long been suggested as an obstacle to reading the text.  It has already been said in this thread that EVA was not created as an accurate representation of whatever Voynichese's plaintext characters are.  It had no pretensions of doing so - it simply makes it easier to talk about the text.  It is likely there are more individual characters than EVA sets out, but we don't know how much more. 

That is not the only reason we have not been able to read the manuscript, though.  A bigger problem is that most who engage it with it almost immediately believe they have solved it, and that's the end of the road for them. That's a lot of potential manpower gone.

6- I claim that there are 340 to 360 different writing signs/letters in VM texts. When there were so many written signs (even if there were more than 100 in total), it should have been understood that some of the signs in the texts had to be syllabic characters. Do you have a response to this opinion?  It wouldn't at all surprise me if some - or indeed many - glyphs are actually syllabic.  There may also be homophones.  But while I think that - if it is not meaningless - there may turn out to be many more characters than EVA has, it would take a lot of persuading for me to accept there are over 300.

7- 112 drawn word matches between VM and Turkish, 1000 word matches (in terms of meaning and phonetics, and moreover, the spelling of 21% of them will remain unchanged in 600 years), more than a hundred sentences have been read means that there is a strong mathematical connection between VM and Turkish language. Does it provide information as a possibility, or is it all a coincidence or does it match the words we made up with our imagination? (If so, how do you explain the fact that we can find these words in the dictionary pages and show them to you and linguists?)  I feel probability has been misused on this thread.   And plenty of other solvers find words in the dictionary or Google translate.  I haven't seen any good reason to see your solution as any better than the hundred + other solutions.  I haven't seen these hundred sentences you have translated.  I apply the same conclusion that I apply to pretty much all other solutions, which is that if your system worked, we would have seen multiple clear, coherent page translations without the need to resort to arguments that more help is needed, other dialects/languages are involved, etc. 

That doesn't, of course, mean it isn't Turkish.
