Voynichese is a numeric cipher?

[ololololo]

If Voynichese is a numerical substitution, it means that letters or parts of words are hidden under numbers.

Expanding on the idea from that post, I should check if this method works on other similar words.

Let's take words with predictable translations on f77r: olkchs = air, otedy = water, dchdy = earth (the four elements).
First, let's go over what we know: is-n-ch-s, i-gn(g)-d-y.
Second, let's look at dchdy - two letters d. This is very similar to terra. Therefore, d = r, which means that ch and y should be equal to e and a. It turns out to be a literal translation.
Now let's consider olkchs and otedy, for which we already have more data: is-n-e/a-s and i-g-e-r-e/a. Only s is unknown.
We compare similar words and try to solve the resulting puzzles:
is-n-e/a-s - this is reminiscent of the word ventis (winds), but we are missing one letter. We can assume that v is omitted, and then s = t. We also get that ch = e
i-g-e-r-e - it sounds like the word "inrigat" (to water), but we don't have t, a, n and the second i. Is it a shortened version of the word inrigo?


What can I say... Of course, I still lean towards the fact that at least the words otol and okalo have a known translation (fire and intestines, respectively), and that my decryption may be generally correct, but we don't know the intricacies of the text's encryption (for example, in the translation of okalo = intesti, the scribe shortened the word, but otol = ignis, without any abbreviations; also, don't forget that the author may have mixed numbers or "dissected" the word), which makes us uncertain about the other words.
In general, such a technique can be used to analyze signature words (such words can also be found in the astronomical section). I see the translation of such words as an important step towards studying and gradually deciphering the rest of the text (for, of course, a single translation of these words will not reveal the entire manuscript to us. The text has many nuances, including those that we don't know about, and it will also take some time to study them).
