Here's a 20 page run.  You can also download the generator from the repo. It has a gui and generate as much as you want. And there's plenty of knobs to play with to try to get it better than I have.  I got it working "well enough" to prove it's possible and left it at that.  I've so far tested it out to 10,000 pages and they still... mostly... look Voynich.  Not like a markov splat.

I'm not sure it looks like proper Voynichese. Just reading the tail of the example:

Quote:<f10v.P1.7;K>        chsoain.tol.chsoain.cthey.tchey.chsoai.sodeeaisy
<f10v.P1.8;K>        chsoai.chtaoiin.y.cphodaiils.shey.chy
<f10v.P1.9;K>        ctchey.y.cthey.choain.shodeeaisy
<f10v.P1.10;K>      gard.cphodaiils.chor.daiin.cthey.chor.cphey
<f10v.P1.11;K>      y.pshideeiisy.shory.deaiin.qcphealo.ryal
<f10v.P1.12;K>      dteaiin.teos.cphealo.y.chey

gard, pShideeiisy, dteaiin, Shodeeaisy look like very weird Voynichese words to me that don't follow CLS and host some weird combinations of glyphs, and there are at least four of them in this short snippet (I assumed that sh is actually Sh in these examples, if it's sh then it's even worse).

I think you're missing the point. This is not about generating perfect Voynichese.  This is about demonstrating a possible method for it's production.  One that tries to match many, not all, Voynich statistics.  Anyone can copy and paste words and come up with things that look exactly like it.  And no, that output isn't the best it can do. There are gobs of knobs on there to turn and adjust it's output and I didn't bother to tweak it for perfection. Download the generator and play with it.  See if you can find something you do like.

Here is what I'm proposing as a POSSIBLE method for it's production.  One sheet of paper as the ledger and one or more sheets as a reference to copy and mutate from.  And yea, this is a suck AI image as it only roughly knows what the Voynich looks like.  Look at the METHOD and the output and decide if it's at least in the ballpark of PLAUSIBLE... not perfect.
