For instance, EVA “q” corresponds to the Turkish phoneme G; EVA “e” to U; EVA “a” to both A and E; and EVA “o” to O and Ö. Following this principle, I have aligned sixteen Voynich characters with Turkish phonetic values.
And who exactly was murdered?
It is established that the author lived during a period when Turkish was written in Arabic script. Within this orthographic tradition, vowels were frequently omitted in writing yet supplied in oral reading. Phonemes such as Turkish I and Ğ were often inserted during pronunciation to render the text intelligible.
My research remains ongoing. Nevertheless, my limited knowledge of Old Anatolian Turkish grammar and lexicon prevents me from fully resolving numerous words.
The text itself refers to a deceased soldier. I hypothesize that this figure may be Ottoman Sultan Bayezid. Consequently, I propose that the manuscript represents a lament composed in the aftermath of the Battle of Ankara in 1402.
The progress of my decipherment would be significantly accelerated if I were able to collaborate with a scholar proficient in Old Anatolian Turkish texts.
