Why and how the text could be Bavarian

I know very little German, so I stand corrected about the pronunciation of doubled consonant letters.  But the point is that those "double consonants" are a convention of the standard orthography to encode phonetic features that are generally not doubled consonant sounds (except perhaps for certain sound that can be lengthened, like /n/).  You don't pronounce "Krabbe" by saying two "b" sounds, do you?

And, again, that is obviously true.  The Voynichese orthography is not the standard German or Bavarian orthography.  

So the absence of doubled glyphs is not an argument against the language being Bavarian.  The pronunciation features that the standard orthography encodes with doubled consonant letters could be encoded in a different way. 

About Venetian, it is my mother tongue -- the language we spoke at home when I was a kid.

All the best, --stolfi
