Why and how the text could be Bavarian
For a few reasons, and to align things further with the REVA structure of the VBM, I needed a reference for how various patterns are distributed across sections and folios. Since this might interest others, I'm sharing the overview - without much commentary; everyone can draw their own conclusions Wink

Data: eva_z3b, all sections without f57v/f116v, lines with more than two tokens. Illustration sections follow Zandbergen's list on voynich.nu; the herbal section is split by Currier language, using the usual list (B = f26, 31, 33, 34, 39-41, 43, 46, 48, 50, 55, 57, 66, 94, 95), which I have not checked page by page against the descriptions there.

Each point is a rolling value over 5 folio sides (2 before, the side itself, 2 after), restricted to the same group, so at group edges it's 3 or 4 sides. Values are left blank where a window has fewer than 15 cases, to avoid plotting noise. Red dashed lines show the value over the whole group, unsmoothed; where the black curve is missing, the window had fewer than 15 cases, but the group value is still shown.

The groups are not in codex order but arranged by how well they fit together: Pharma after Herbal-A because it simply continues it, Biological after Stars, etc. Everyone can form their own opinion. "Text only" = pages without illustrations.

Note that the counting and plotting were done by an AI (Claude 5.1), and the result was checked by a second one (ChatGPT 6 Astra). Usually reliable, but no guarantee - I wanted the rough picture and didn't do spot checks myself.
