Ruby's Greek Thread

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

[..]
If I understand correctly, you have no arguments for or against my interpretation of "shedy" & Co. in Greek; you're only interested in the shape of the glyphs.

I do not intent to support or object your theory of Voynichese being Greek - I doubt you are doing that here.
But a main argument against your translation would be your understanding of all VMS characters, apart from any different understandings about their number or even "shape". 
As showed, everybody has a different understanding of them, and I do not remember any understandable development of your letter assignments from this post or your blog or webpage, whatever.

I don't quite get this one here, what do you mean?

I find this curious, because in the region you described in your thread, shouldn't the Greek language be lacking?

I have several threads here. If you mean the one where I describe the VMS Map showing a region of Crimea and maybe some north of it (better explained in my video You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ):
yes, during the VMS period existed a small nation called Theodoro in south Crimea, with Byzantine roots, they spoke and wrote Greek.
In another (new) nation, Crimean Khanate in the North, some Karaitan jews lived in Chufut Kale, a mountain fortress close to later Bakhchassaray and Mangup. They spoke and wrote a version of Greek, but wrote also Hebrew.
Plus all Genuese harbours at south coast with surely a mix of different inhabitants.

But there are 2 things:
1. whoever lives in a region, does merely not need a map of his peninsula, this is more important for distant visitors. With 4-5 harbours and international trade, this is not very helpful.
So I never claimed the whole VMS book originating in Crimea, but only the Map being about that region.
And that pushes back the Greek option a bit.

2. Greek is a rather complex, fully defined language since ~3,000 years. The grammar and the alphabet are set since an eternity, all developments and dialects are well-known and can be tracked to their roots. Yes, modern greek is different to it's ancient origin, but there is no unknown white patch of this language.
Greek in all it's forms is just too complicated by alphabet, words' structures, vocabulary and grammar for those poor little glyphs and vords of VMS.

It simply isn't Greek.
