Cvetka's Slovenian Theory Thread

You are also going to have a huge problem with the frequency of letters. Where are all the words ending in "a" and "e"? I

Voynich Manuscript was written under the influence of Glagolitic Croatian writing which was based on the Old Church Slavonic. Most of the final a and e  were OCS yat(s) which in Cyrilic and Glagolitic alphabet had their own letters, but in Latin writing were dropped. Because of that, there are many ch, sh free standing words. The re-construction will include inserting the vowels, including the final vowels, as well as separating so-called word blogs (the words where short words, like prepositions, conjunctions and other particles are attached to the next word) after identifying which ones are prefixes (which would be written together). This requires a lot of manual work because sh can be Slavic č, ć, š, ž, or y can be i, j, ij, ji etc. 
Since all these changes affect entropy, it is necessary that the changes and proper transcriptions are made. I will discuss all the obstacles to transcription and translation in another post. Because of that I am focusing first on vocabulary to group the word families.

I have shown some grammatical patterns for the word DAM, however those patterns are consistent throughout the VM text and with Slovenian grammatical patterns. 
The VM was created just when the Patriarchate of Aquileia was disolved and it religious influence on the Slavic lands where Kajkavian and Čokavian dialects which are closer to Slovenian than to Croatian, were spoken. There are some differences that point to Slovenian dialect, but there is a mixture of Croatian liturgical words and Slovenian peasant words.
