List of "weird" vords

[Mark Knowles]

As I have stated elsewhere I am inclined to the view that the "weird" or abnormal words most likely constitute the true text of the manuscript. Whilst, the ordinary or normal words are most likely filler or null text with no real meaning. So, then the real text of the Voynich manuscript is left once the repetitive filler words or text are removed from the manuscript. Once the real text is isolated then it can be studied to see what kind of cipher it uses whether simple substitution or something more complex. The difficulty is in clearly defining what are filler words or text and what are real words or text. As I have said before I think the majority of the text is most likely filler. In fact the explanation for how the filler text was generated may be along the lines suggested by Torsten Timms and others. The only difference being that whilst they argue that all the text is "hoax" text I would argue that only some of it is whilst other parts of text are quite genuine. I would expect that the proportion of real text is greater amongst the labels than in sentence text. I would think it most likely that each page would contain a small amount of real text and a lot of filler text. So, that the real text is distributed at a roughly common frequency throughout the manuscript.

Assuming this hypothesis is true I would be interested in ideas as to how the two types of text can be identified.
