How multi-character substitution might explain the voynich’s strange entropy

[ReneZ]

We don't know if Voynichese is a phonetic representation at all. Whatever it is, is very much dependent on its writing system.

All the 'quirks' that we are seeing are aspects of writing (incomplete list):
- The small selection of paragraph-starting characters
- The predominance of single-leg gallows on top lines
- The predominance of Eva-m and Eva-g at line ends
- The more subtle 'rightwards and downwards' trends of Patrick Feaster.

This makes it quite unlikely that the MS text is a direct rendition of a spoken text.
