Deconstruction of Voynich Manuscript words
#3
Dear Anton,

Are you using the stripped down Voynich Lite version of my proposed solution for your work? It does not have all the tentative codes in the code tables. It was only created/distilled from the larger version to show how easy the entire solution actually is to work with and to get consistent answers only for those 505 words. (Voynich Lite is only meant to be an easily understood tool shaped from the much larger and slightly more complex panoply of codes and tables and meanings,  created for the single purpose of deconstructing the 505 words.)

Or are you using the larger, slightly more complex version shown at:

This expanded version may help answer your questions. It is, of course, used with the Tables I through VI (also at my Fumblydiddles site) showing the proposed codes and their tentative meanings.

Using the expanded (regular) version, not the Voynich Lite, I would deconstruct your two examples as follows:

ytchody  -  ytch/o/d/y
Table         I   III V VI

The Table I abbreviation  ytch (sounded h-t-s) has heretofore not been identified. I think it may stand for hurts, a synonym for bilberry. The Table III code stands for root. The Table V code stands for 2. The Table VI code stands for grain.

The word may mean hurts (bilberry), root, 2 grains.

chodar   -  cho/da/r
Table         I    IV V

The Table I abbreviaton cho (sounded s-r) is probably either cinnamon root (my old ID) or snakeroot (bistort)(a newer tentative ID). The Table IV code stands for alcohol maceration. The Table V code stands for five.

Thus, the word may mean either cinnamon root or snakeroot, 5 (minims) of the alcohol maceration. Minims is the default type of liquid measurement when no other is given.

I do not yet have all the different codes in Table I identified (especially for the seldom used codes). Most of the members of the other tables have been identified and given tentative meanings. The numbers table (Table V) is the one I am least sure of the members being correctly given meanings/quantities. The Table I IDs are also subject to change as more is learned. The tables need to be updated but should give a general idea of my findings.

I don't know if this answered your questions or gave satisfactory examples of deconstructing the two words you mentioned. I hope it did. If not, please let me know your concerns. I will happily try to deconstruct any other words you may want done.

Thank you.
