[Oscroft]

Without learning the meanings of the characters, copying them (or buying a printed copy of the book) would be pointless

I've no idea if my anecdotal story is of any use, but when I married my Thai wife 40 years ago she helped me with my spoken and written Thai (and she still reminds me I'm not very good). One thing she noted was that in my early attempts my writing looked like school attempts - especially with copied round forms rather than confident native strokes. Might there be a contrast between experienced and inexperienced Voynich scribes Here?
