Seasonal prefix clustering in Voynich zodiac nymph labels — a systematic observation

[dashstofsk]

labels in the zodiac section statistically differ between individual sections

This sort of statistical anomaly occurs everywhere in the manuscript.

The distribution of many parameters ( top prefixes, top suffices, top character pairs, gallow words, frequencies of words that appear once in the quire, frequencies of long words, frequencies of words of two characters, frequencies of words that contain characters EVA-s, d, e, a, n, r ) are not uniform. Page-page differences are often many standard deviations away from what would be expected if the words, prefixes, suffices, characters etc. were distributed randomly.

I have tried to say something of this in a number of posts

Those of us who like myself believe in the meaningless text / artificial construction / hoax hypothesis have a ready explanation for this and for your anomalous labels. The writer was not an automaton blindly following some set algorithm. Was not generating hoax text to any formal standard. At each sitting the writer approached the task with a fresh mindset. And so at each sitting there were variations. The style of the writing changed according to the temperament and inclination of the writer that day. Some days he just simply chose to use  ol or. On other days ok ot.
