Register or Login to view.This is a substitution with polyphones: some ambiguity is perfectly acceptable, a lot of ambiguity is a pain, unlikely to be worth the time, especially if you move the spaces, to account for the strong positional preferences of Voynichese glyphs in words. But it would result in (too) many short words: every time you are not allowed some combination of glyphs, you have to insert a space.
I don't understand why you would get combinations of glyphs that are "not allowed" using this system. The original plaintext -> Cipher/square alphabet -> voynichese process would be the source of those rules, and decoding them back would provide the original plaintext.
In my voynich example -along with some very basic rules- i converted from voynichese -> Cipher/square -> voynichese with relative success. To actually decode it, you would have to do a voynichese -> cipher/square -> Original plaintext.
Both the voynichese and original plaintext would have to be translatable to a 3rd intermediary square/cipher "text" for this to work.
