Why and how the text could be Bavarian
I think I have the same message for several threads  today Smile

Looking similar to Voynichese and being statistically similar to Voynichese are two different things. It is not hard to invent a scheme that makes a text took somewhat like Voynichese. Your simplified scheme here does that. However, this has never been the problem, as far as I know. The problem is to reproduce the whole collection of paradoxical features, like word/token length distribution, proportion of single token words (hapax), lack of large scale repetitions, line position preferences, etc.

It's not hard to invent a scheme that would explain any single statistic, it's when trying to combine these schemes to reproduce the whole everything usually breaks down.
