The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[nablator]

All of which is getting into the weeds. The point is that *if* Voynichese were a cipher that breaks up words into smaller chunks, the process that breaks them up is unlikely to be syllabification (and likely isn't deterministic in general?) due to the extremely low TTR that results.

The TTR of Voynichese can be reduced as much as you need... by simplifications, equivalences, re-spacing. However the babble-like sequences of similar words would not produced plausible Latin (or Chinese).
