Why and how the text could be Bavarian

[oshfdk]

To counter the impression that I’m “watering down” my theory with all these posts, I’d like to briefly clarify the structure of my posts. 

At first, there was really only a single basic assumption or rule:

Rule 1: Vowels are represented as bigrams, separated in the middle by word boundaries.

Rule 2: The Consonant-nuclei are encrypted.

The second rule is actually just a conclusion: Since the remaining consonant clusters cannot be plain text or a simple substitution due to the family structures, they must be encrypted.

With this alone, I can explain the various oddities of the VMS:

This is what you claim. But you haven't actually shown what happens when a real historical Bavarian text of 10000+ symbols is encoded by deterministically and reproducibly applying your rules, so that anyone could independently verify whether the rules actually work to produce a good enough match for Voynichese or not and how well various oddities of the Voynich MS are reproduced when applying these rules. Until you do this, at least from my point of view, this is all a conjecture not demonstrated to actually work. Short snippets don't prove anything, it's very easy to invent a short snippet that would demonstrate any needed behavior.

Note that I'm not asking to find the right decoding for the Voynich MS. To support your claims it would be enough to show that some fixed set of rules transforms a sizable historical Bavarian text into plausible looking Voynichese. I think, this would be stage one of making this theory believable, until then there is simply no evidence that it actually works, and we are supposed to take your word for it. Most of us don't know Bavarian and some of us (me included) can't really understand the intricacies of your theory's rules and principles.
