Ruby's Greek Thread

[Ruby Novacna]

You suggest you see a similarity between the Voynichese word represented by keerodal/muro8ai in EVA and the Greek μυρωδία, and I'm just trying to understand what that similarity actually is. The only genuine similarity I can see is that muro8ai and μυρωδία have the same number of letters, but I assume you can see more than that - and I'd really just like to know what it is you see here?

I'd earlier suspected that you might be seeing a match between the m and u at the start of muro8ai with the mu and upsilon at the start of μυρωδία, which is why I made my comment on phonetics - as EVA m and u are purely arbitrary code choices and do not imply that the real Voynichese letters are in any way similar to m and u. (And I'm not suggesting you made that mistake, but plenty of others have - including someone here recently who said they'd compared the sound of Voynichese with modern languages, and even an academic a few years ago who claimed he'd worked out how to sing it )

PS: I just want to emphasise that I'm asking you this simply to try to understand how your Greek theory works and how you made the connection, not to suggest you're doing anything wrong by making suggestions.

If you followed the link I included in my message to my first attempt at reading the word "keerodal," you might understand my reasoning.

I do indeed consider that "k EVA" transcribes ν or μ, and "ee EVA" corresponds to υ, ει, ι, or perhaps οι or η.
This isn't a mistake; it's my choice, which may evolve and isn't rigid or definitive.
To avoid confusing myself, I've published my current interpretations on my blog.

As for your opinion that the letters in the EVA transcription cannot have phonetic values, I don't share it. 
Just because these values aren't known with sufficient certainty doesn't mean they don't exist. 
If you find my suggestions insufficiently substantiated, you are welcome to make your own.
