Voynich Welsh Numerology

[-JKP-]

Thomas,

What language is Skorpius?  Please provide a dictionary link Thomas.  I am allowing one word from a different language in the Zodiac since I did use the English word for scorpion.

BOGENSCHUETZEN does not appear in this German dictionary unless you can provide another online dictionary which states otherwise I like to see it.

Bogenschützen is the word for archer in German and it equals a 6.  As you can see this is not a forced task and it has to be precise.

Thanks Thomas, and I would like to see anyone else defy my assertion that this will only work in Welsh.

Stellar, it doesn't have to be in a dictionary. In fact, many dictionary words were not used in the 15th century and many non-dictionary words were. For example, in a German dictionary, you will see the word "ein" but in 15th-century Germany, in two specific localities, it was spelled "ain". Also, in southeast Germany, in particular, the "p" was often substituted for a "b".

What matters is not that it be found in an online dictionary, but that it was used in 15th-century manuscripts and I have seen "Skorpius" in old German manuscripts. It's usually spelled with a "c" but occasionally a "k", so it's a valid word in the context of the VMS. I have also seen schützer spelled three different ways. I have NEVER seen Bogenschützen as a label in any medieval astrological manuscript—they either use the Latin word or the short word for "shooter", without "bogen" in front. I've seen Pisces spelled six different ways. Sometimes Latin and German words for zodiacs are on the same page with no rhyme or reason as to why they chose one over the other.
