Can VM be written in vowelless Latin?

[julian]

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.

I still don't know how you reached the value for each character.

It seems as though some values were proposed based on the shape of the Voynich character and its similarity to existing scripts: so [o] and [r] are based on what they look like in Greek and Latin respectively.

Otherwise they were based on the output of the text once the value was applied: [daiin] should be 'illi' because the language is Latin and you were seeking a frequent word.

Can you tell me how you discovered the text was in Latin?

That was a long and painful way
To be serious, one day I asked myself what if q is really q (both occur always* in the beginning of the word)? Then o, which always* follows q, is u(v) and language is probably Latin or English. As frequenly noted by -JKP- there are a lot of abbreviations from medieval Latin and the author certainly knew Latin very well. So should be Latin. Ok. Great. But o is u/v? Ha-ha.
Then another day I found word which would have acceptable meaning, if o is u/v. That was striking for me. Later I wrote computer program that uses Whitaker's great dictionary and finds proper translations for Voynich word. And the key converged to its present state.
Of course amateur with no proper knowledge has a little chance, but when your key produces "petresillum" for plant from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and "cunila" for plant from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. it gives you tiny hope

What do you get for the star labels on f68r3 ?

PS this is a very nice set of conjectures!
