Inside the Voynich Network: graph analysis
#93
Quote:The ELHM is morphologically plural ("gods") but seems to be grammatically singular and now assumed to be a conventional/honorific way to refer to (the single) God.

Yes. It is standardly pronounced as Elohim ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) as is indeed a respectful plural case for a single entity. Something like "We, king of England and Scotland... ". Such form is sometimes called "pluralis maiestatis"

As for the analysis:

PCA1 captures how morphologically rich, structurally diverse, and modular a language’s co-occurrence graph is.
The graph makes sense to me. You basically get the difference between languages with declension and without it. Notice that Asian languages don't have declension just like English. 

Hebrew seemed weird to me but I learnt a few things from ChatGPT  Wink It really matters if you write Hebrew without vowels (like in ancient Biblical times) or with them like currently. Adding vowels makes the number of unique words grow several times. You seem to use vowel included transcription here. And Hebrew has declension (I was earlier wrong). So the data may be correct after all.

PCA2 captures how robust or centralized the graph is.
I have problems with imagining it. Quimqu, are you able to give as example a sample of text which is robust and which isn't. Or does such feature emerge only for big texts?

And going back to Voynich Manuscript... How would you say, what is VM position on PCA1 and PCA2?
