Similarity of Voynichese glyphs according to their immediate statistical environment

[MarcoP]

I will add the even earlier paper by Timm You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (2014-2015). Of course the observation that similarly looking glyphs behave similarly is extremely interesting.

Based on the observation that it is possible to generate other words, which exist in the VMS, by replacing similar shaped glyphs, it is possible to list the following rules:

"in", "iin" and "iiin" can replace each other (in - iin - iiin) 
"e", "ee" and "eee" can replace each other (e - ee - eee) 
"ee" and "ch" can replace each other (ee - ch) 
"ch" and "sh" can replace each other (ch - Sh) 
"k", "t", "p" and "f" can replace each other (k - t - p - f) 
"chk", "ckh" and "eke" can replace each other (chk - cKh - eke) 
"o" and "a" can replace each other (o - a) 
"o" and "y" can replace each other (o - y) 
"n", "r" and "m" can replace each other (n - R - m) 
"l", "r" and "m" can replace each other (l - R - m) 
"r" and "s" can replace each other (R - s) 
"s" and "d" can replace each other (s - d)
