It's fantastic that we all, regardless of our country of origin, recognize the same phenomenon with pre-sounds, the substitution of ch for sh, and vowel swaps. We can agree on and recognize letters in latin script. Regardless of our theories (as long as we don't assume encryption), these must be supported by repetition or grammatical explanations. My suggestion would be to take the lowest common denominator and form a "think tank."
Jorge seems to be very knowledgeable about languages and their basic rules. Since Voynich seems "familiar" to us due to its Latin letters, I think we wanted to focus primarily on the Indo-European language family. Although the book was dated around 1420, the language could be much older. A dialect is certainly always a possibility.
The following peculiarities are recognized by most:
the pre-sounds as described in the first post
the substitution of o for a (or vice versa)
the ch to sh change
the increase of the e, ee, eee, eeee, in the words
Would it make sense to open a new thread as a "think tank" to search for precisely these phenomena and list them without addressing the details of our theories?
A think tank based on the phenomena accepted by all in a shared exchange?
