The oddities of the bigram "ed" pt. 3 : It's not just "ed"

[Dunsel]

When solving a cipher (and by extension any textual mystery) you need to attack the odd things that stand out. There is the weakness.

I don't think I can name many things about the Voynich MS that don't stand out. Who knows, maybe it's not an elephant, but a porcupine, focusing on the longest quills may not get us closer to the truth.

In all the tests I've run and all the charts I've created, the one thing that every single one has told me is, what the Voynich isn't.  Digging into the Voynich is nothing but a series of repeated failures.  And the minute you do think you do see something, like my last 3 posts, someone will point out that it's something else.  

So I don't know if it's an elephant or a porcupine.  But, if I look at those quills, I may not be able to identify it as a porcupine, but I'll be pretty certain it's not an elephant.  Only by eliminating the impossible can you then see what's possible.  Now if I'm looking at the longest quills, then I know it's a porcupine and I'm trying to identify the species.  So far, nobody can even agree on if it's any animal we know.
