It is basically a Voynich word validator.
Very simplified, it has 4 columns:The ledger is built by looking at all the words on Scribe 1 pages and recording where glyphs are allowed to occur and what tends to follow them.
- the Voynich glyph
- allowed prefix followers
- allowed midfix followers
- allowed suffix followers
I don't follow you. What do you mean by 'prefix follower', 'midfix follower', 'suffix follower'? Ie. using the 'f-ledger table' shown in your previous post: if I have 'fa', what can follow the 'a'? 'r,t' (prefix followers) or 'c,i,l,r,n' (midfix fololowers) or 's,t' (suffix followers)? And why?

Start with F.
The ledger says A is a valid prefix follower.
Then A allows C as a midfix.
C allows H.
H allows Y.
Y allows S as a suffix.
F → a → c → h → y → s
You just created a legal Voynich-style word.
Always using your ledger, and the same columns I think you used, what forbids me from creating/validating 'fandao', which does not look much to be a Voynich-style word?

F → a → c → h → y → a → s
and
F → a → c → h → a → s
is a valid word.
Yet again I don't understand. If you find 'fachyas', why does it matter that 'fachas', without the 'y' is a valid word? And, are really 'fachyas'/'fachas' two valid Voynichese words? There's only a word in the full text which starts with 'fach': fachys.
