A family of grammars for Voynichese
#83
Just very briefly, I would see one of the main purposes of 'looping' to be to avoid having the same character in several slots. This does not seem to be achieved, and I suspect (just guessing) that this is the result of trying to achieve a too high coverage.

I think that one of the main problems with the Naibbe approach (which the slot approach does not suffer) is the need to be able to split words into parts, where the different possibilities for each part are somewhat limited in number. I don't think it can be done. Even a short slot system will easily generate large numbers of such apparent parts. No need to list them...
