No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Linda, I see you still have doubts about the gender of the figures we see in the Voynich. What we see are hundreds of female figures. There are no male figures, even though it may seem like there are some.


For me it has a clear explanation: they represent the fixed stars. And for any speaker of a language derived from Latin it is easier to see this than for a speaker whose mother tongue is English because this language lacks grammatical gender.

Here in Spain I once entered a restaurant that distinguished the men's and women's toilets with a Sun and Moon painted on the door. A speaker of a Latin language would have no problem, but an English speaker would be puzzled not knowing what his/her toilet is.

Although it seems like a minor problem, it is not considering that this forum is developed in English and almost all of the VM's research has been done in this language.
