Okay, Gabriel. I'll always trust someone with solid training in a subject more than what Artificial Intelligence tells me.
But you will understand that one is suspicious when Zipf's law says that the third most frequent word appears only a third as often as the first, and yet you see that instead of 288 the result is 501.
I guess you're right and in some way Zipf's law does apply, but I've read somewhere that this law is a case of the higher power law that occurs in many real-world phenomena.
In any case, I think there are enough reasons to suspect that the Voynich script is not linguistic.
Regards
