The Naibbe cipher

[magnesium]

Just out of curiosity, what does it look like when you use the cipher to "solve" part of the MS?

I have parsed all of Voynich B as if it were exactly a Naibbe ciphertext. To be extremely conservative, I have skipped all tokens that cannot be made using the exact procedure I describe in the paper (though theoretically I could generate some, if not most, currently missing word types by mashing 2+ valid Naibbe word types together).

The quality of the Naibbe cipher's coverage varies widely by folio, from 62% of all folio tokens (f57r) to 93% (f81r). In the following folder, I have an Excel file with every token of Voynich B parsed, as well as a PDF that shows You are not allowed to view links.

A word of warning: I very deliberately did not want to fine-tune the cipher's specific prefix and suffix assignments too much in the pursuit of yielding readable text...as doing so would have been exactly equivalent to a decryption attempt of the VMS where the current version of the Naibbe cipher is taken to be the actual VMS cipher. So unsurprisingly, the inferred Naibbe plaintext is Latinish gibberish.
