Voynich through Phonetic Irish

[rikforto]

This is how I would be typing the other word (not ridhin) into Teannglan (without considering possibilities of C or CH, which already come up for suggestions)

You're right, I did mean chedy. Though, I'm not sure where we end up because I have you giving rith before, not ri'd, and I'm still not completely sure where any of your readings are coming from exactly.

To what User OSHFDK wrote in regards to the trolling post:

 "I can't agree. It is straightforward, yes, and it does simplify, but it's designed to highlight a point and it does a reasonably good job. Overall I see little difference between your solution and rikforto's mockup, other than yours is much more complex and evolved."


He wrote 90 minutes.. I don't think you have any idea how much time I've dedicated to this. I understand it can be incredibly upsetting for some that I got much further than they themselves or others did in a much much shorter time frame, but I didn't just start working on this. I also don't see this as a competition which it appears many of you do on this site..

To be clear, not a troll, I clearly labeled what that was and stand by my very serious point: The existence of a translation per se, far from being indicative of a valid solution, is an expected part of any proposed solution. The thing about it being extremely fast was mostly sending up a different solution---I believe you were linked to the thread where it came up, but at any rate she kept talking about how the speed of her translation implied that it must be valid. I believe I saw another solver who made that argument, though I'm having trouble remembering which one. At any rate, it's pretty common for solvers to give some variation of, "Look, I found suggestive meaning in the text, how do you explain that?" Well, by pointing out that doing so is fairly easy to get suggestive meaning from the text, especially if you are willing to lean a bit on some online tools like a translator or a dictionary.
