The vowel exchange "a" to "o"

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Now that everyone has finished the drum concert and left the stage, we can continue. Otherwise, please open your own thread to get further musical support.

But my post was totally within the scope of this thread.  Back in the early 2002, for statistical reasons that I don't remember any more, I concluded that the "circle" glyphs {a,o,y} were sort of independent from the others.  In the sense that one could usefully model the structure of Voynichese words as a string of the other glyphs, with those "circles" then inserted at varous points, at most once at every point. 

One possible explanation could be that the language was Arabic or Hebrew, and a,o,y were the three vowels sounds of those languages.  Or that the language was tonal and a,o,y were pitch levels.  And Zulu (and hence You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. zulu) happens to be tonal...

All the best, --jorge
