For some reason your comments feel as if my tinkering with ciphers somehow hinders your investigation of Crimea and unknown languages. You find my approach flawed, I'm not yet convinced of yours, and I see no problem with this. It's not like we have to fight for funding or something  Smile

Big Grin No, we are not on "Voynich War" with each other...
If you care to know why I did not "make advance" in the 5 weeks since I published the location of VMS map as Crimean (but not necessarily a -known and existing- source language for VMS from there):
it took more than 3 weeks to do a complete rework of the v101 transscription data, as that file was coming with heavy misreadings, misunderstandings at least to folio 85, and even a (small) text block missing. 
The last 2 weeks I was searching for a manuscript I saw ~3 months ago and didn't save it, which is becoming a key document probably.
And yes, the source language is still unkown to me by this.

But back to topic:
problem with VMS letters is, that you are able to find them anywhere, so they could mean everything or nothing:

   

You may see (or not see) some characters that clearly remind of VMS. But this does not make it easier.
The last image is from modern calligraphy, but I found the idea funny that someone may write the 'G'/ Г as a "9" in capitals and an "8" in small letters -- another one could have had a similar idea with 'K' just long before...
