Help with Arabic/Syriac Reading of F1R

[rikforto]

The remainder of the text doesn't function as a "text" it's separate from f1r. If any folio were to contain a readable text then it would be f1r, it behaves quite differently to the rest of the MS. The remainder of the text is (under this theory) a compression of reference tokens encoding plant components and their Galenic qualities, the methods for preparation, the agents of preparation, the produced compounds, the treatments, the ailments they treat... but that's a whole separate thread, for this post I'm focused on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. as it doesn't encode tokens in the same way.

You can see from inspection that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has words that conform to the general patterns on other pages, and that your proposed "Syriac" has an unusually high number of specific letters in specific places as a result. You can also see from the chart in your original post that the "Syriac" is heavily derived from the somewhat arbitrary choices that were made to assign Voynich glyphs to Latin letters. I have my doubts that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. actually functions differently, but taking that as the case for the sake of argument, it has all the problems of the larger text in microcosm. You don't need a Syriac expert to know that Syriac doesn't have the constraints of Voynich words nor how unlikely it is that the architects of EVA blindly guessed the basic values of the text.
