Yes, this looks like a good approach, but this also has been tried hundreds of times with the Voynich Manuscript. I'm extrapolating from the frequency of some recent attempts that I know of. As far as I know, for some reason not a single one of these attempts produced any specific universally recognized breakthrough into the underlying language.
The most popular explanations I've seen for this are (in no particular order):
- nonsensical text: hoax, glossolalia;
- not a text: visual code, etc;
- agrammatical text: inventory, list of charms;
- specific kind of cipher: one that would hide repeating patterns.
What is your take?
