Voynichese Generated via Part-of-Speech-Based Dice Model

I would like to share a structural hypothesis regarding the generation of Voynichese text. Inspired by linguistic modeling and probabilistic generation, I propose that the author may have used a mental or mechanical system akin to “dice” categorized by grammatical roles—such as conjunctions, nouns, and verbs—to construct each word or phrase.

Hello Hiro K,

Welcome to the forum.

I understood it differently (and checked with the examples): that each generated word concatenates three elements, one from each of the three pools, always in the same order.

A cipher could work like that, I remember reading several articles. It's an old idea based on word models.

Here it is a type of random generator of short phrases. Why would anyone do that and record the result as pseudo-language I don't know. Divination maybe? I doubt it would look interesting enough to keep doing it for so long.
