This is something completely different than the null generator code that only inserted 0, 1, 2. There may be a huge misunderstanding here. Can you post the Python code for the actual mapping, please?

Yes it is true and you are right and I am surprised of the results.

Initally I had this:

a can be ciphered by (T,O,P)
b can be ciphered by (U,P,W)
c can be ciphered by (T,M,Z)

At some point I should have mix up some functions and didn't doublecheck. The interesting thing is that the insert of 0,1 and 2 creates the entropy bump that I find caracteritic of the Voynich. You can se here You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that it is really different comparing to natural languages. So, I might have found some thread of investigation in an involuntary way... I am now thinking how can I translate this into the Voynich cipher...
