Is Voynich a right-to-left script?

[Labyrinthinesecurity]

Your example is exqctly what i did: perplexity reveals a difference in direction, due to unexpected transition between words in the unexpected case

Why have you chosen perplexity as your only statistical measure?
How would perplexity be expected to reveal information about the directionality of the script ?
What happens if you reverse the text in your corpora i.e "aroproc ruoy ni txet eht esrever uoy fi sneppah tahW" ?

Thanks for sharing, i will look into this research

Hi Labyrinthinesecurity,
How does your research compare to using the Gini index and Entropy analysis to determine writing direction ?
