New reading hypothesis on f85v (Rosettes): “Paris Kar

[rikforto]

This works in conjunction with my assumption that Voynichese was originally intended to parody Latin in appearance and thereby mislead.

I think this is a perfectly colorable supposition and don't want this to become a battle of wills of who is right! But my instinct, showing my own biases, is that it might well be a hint into iin as a productive suffix. Especially if that was a pen test, something I do is stick Korean morphemes on English words to get a sense of both uses of a pen; "Wonder하고" is a nice one for seeing a variety of forms. There is a bit of a clue about "하고" as a suffix there, albeit not much of one. Naturally though, this is all very speculative

(And, of course, treating the Tiltman suffixes as dedicated suffixes unavailable for use in the start of words runs into well-known problems, and though I have some half-baked thoughts about solving them, not yet for sharing and not for this thread.)
