Cribs in the Voynich MS

Ah, OK, sorry.  I though you were defending the LAAFU theory.

I agree that "LAAFU" is a bit strong term for simple positional dependence, it implies some "functional" role. But I think most people understand what features I refer to when I mention LAAFU, so I keep saying LAAFU. Since I consider the cipher hypothesis the most likely, I think that the positional dependence is an emergent properly of the cipher used (say, if encoding it reset at the beginning of a line or somehow wrapped at the end of the line). The line-breaking of a normal plaintext could explain some positional dependence as well.
