A One-Page Ledger Method for Generating Voynich-Like Text

[Dunsel]

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?

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?

Follower may be a bad choice except for the prefix follower. So it's like this.

Your alphabet is on the left column.  That's what a word can start with, any letter in the Voynich alphabet.  The prefix follower.  Only certain letters can come after that specific prefix.  For example.  If you start your word with the letter A, the only 2 options you have for the next letter are R and T.   If you start with the letter F, only A can be the next letter, it follows the prefix.  Once you have FA... then you can look at midfix.  A can have C, L, I, N, R as a letter that follows it as a midfix.  If you select C then you have FAC.  Next, look at what midfix you can add after the letter C.  H, K or T.  Keep adding midfixes until you're ready to end the word.  When you are ready, you'll see that the letter Y has D, E, H, K, L, O, R, S, T as  possible suffixes.

So yes, 
Fachys
Fachyd
Fachye
Fachyh... etc... are all valid words.

That ledger I showed a picture of is not complete. It was designed to be short and simple. Whether you could create the word fandao depends on whether you could follow those letters in the ledger.  If you could, it would be a 'legal' word.  Does that mean it's a Voynich word?  No.  Not one you're familiar with.   The purpose of the ledger is to validate mutations with known letter combinations the Voynich actually uses.

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.

The ledger is merely saying that if you want to mutate the word fachyas into fachas then there are examples in the Voynch where Y follows the letter H and if you remove the Y, there are examples in the Voynich where A follows the letter H.  If you tried to create Fachvas, the ledger does not allow that. Which means, nowhere in the Voynich does V follow the letter H.  So, when MUTATING words, or creating random new ones, it constrains the choices to what it knows the Voynich does and doesn't allow really wierd words to appear.

And the ledger will work for any language.  I could load it up with emoji's.  It's constraining the choices made when deciding which letter CAN come after a specific letter. That does not mean it can reproduce a language.

I have a fully built Scribe 1 ledger as a json on the repo.  Have a look.
