Voynich through Phonetic Irish

[rikforto]

(my Substack is a snippet of less than a tenth of what I have)

Reiterating that it would be helpful for replication if more than 10% of your theory were in one place, coherently explained, and thorough enough that someone else could follow it. It would prevent some of the misunderstandings that have cropped up and provide a much clearer picture of the 10% we can see. It should also dispel the refutation that you are taking large interpretive steps without justification, which you have objected to but never actually explained how you are doing those steps. You previously asked for a research agenda, and this is just a first pass, but:

1. Why you read the characters the way you do. (The brief mention of other ciphers and looking at them is a narrative explanation, but we need a logical reason to assign values to each part of the Voynich alphabet. We know you looked at the problem, but we can't read your thoughts on it.)
   
2. How your system maps onto You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and vice versa. (This is the most complete part of your work, but there are gaps, especially with regards to how certain Irish sounds are realized in Voynichese.)
   
3. How you are using Teanglann. (It's not enough to say you listen; we need to know what you search, what you listen for, and how we can do the same kind of listening.)
   
4. How you are choosing words for your "Irish" "sentences". (This is probably bound up with item 3.)
   
5. How you are doing your translations to English. (I think this step could actually be cut from your process and greatly strengthen your theory; if you're getting a clear, natural language after searching Teanglann, I don't see why all the trouble do interpretive steps; if you're not getting clear, natural language I don't see how a layer of English over it helps.)
   

As a rule, if you cannot explain it, we cannot replicate it. If you think you've explained everything, you should do the scavenger hunt yourself and bring together the various points you've made on various websites into a single coherent theory. It's the best shot you have at getting us to see what you're thinking, and if you're struggling to bring all your ideas together, I would ask how you expect the rest of us to do it. I know you are busy, but there's no deadline on this, and I am not demanding this on any timeline. But I am saying that if you think this thread is about replication, your paramount goal should be to provide us with the best statement you can of what it is we are supposed to be replicating in detail.
