Planetary Root Assignments and Semantic Structure

[Blackrider]

I am not too knowledgeable about linguisticts but how do you define a voynichese word root ?

One definition is "A root word is the most basic form of a word that cannot be further divided into meaningful segments."

but if you cannot read the language then you cannot assign meaning, if you cannot assign meaning then you cannot find word roots.

Thanks. A Voynichese root in this context is a recurring word stem that appears frequently in different folios and tends to accept many of the same suffixes or endings. In other words, meaningful repetition and structural similarity are used to identify likely “roots,” even if the full code hasn’t been cracked yet. You can then assign plausible meaning to these roots and test how far that gets you.

That’s one of the approaches to decoding any unknown language or cipher: start with patterns, then test hypotheses about meaning.
