Anton, if I recall formula for entropy correctly, when we decrease number of possibilities, entropy also decreases. In any case in we also have an effect of one Voynich symbols substitutes several latin letters.
Emma May Smith, thank you for reading the work
2) Short words are the problem. For others I can select more or less suitable meaning
3) o is the most obvious one for me. v and b are undoubtedly related, u and y go with them. I guess (don't laugh) that o comes from Greek omega and is mostly pronounced [w]. So oror from last page may be something like [warwarum]. c is connected to g from one side, and to t from another. f-ph-p is yet another chain. If it's really Latin and daiin is most frequent word then d is obviously l. r, l appear among most frequent endings. Difficult to imagine r to be other letter than r, so l is obviously m/n. And yes, m and n go together in all abbreviations I've seen. For k I had a choice between d and r and even dr. When d translations are more adequate. What I really like in this key is that it is absolutely natural and allow to find translation for most of words.
4) I have no theory about that. Is it more strange than "no gallow before q" fact?
-JKP-, thanks for the information.
