Hi Stellar,
Just a question by a truly curious person. Let's start with your You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. image and with the word "xoyi" (your 10th word), which equals 438 in Gematria and could therefore be a code for "turn", which also has a gematria value of 438. At this point a few questions arise:

1) Wouldn't it be more normal for the phrase to say "Now I Lucifer say to Eve, 'I am God'" instead of "Now I Lucifer turn Eve I am God"? Do you think that is fudging the Voynichese, and if not, why would "I Lucifer turn Eve I am God" be the first choice of phrasing instead of "I Lucifer say to Eve I am God"

2) Out of curiosity, why do you think the two words "Now I" are represented as one word in Voynichese - why do you think the coder would do that? Wouldn't it be more logical (and much easier) if every encoded word became only one plaintext word?

3) There are exactly 98 word choices (I counted) for the Gematria value 438. It can equal "turn", but it can also equal "stone", "goddess", "pulse", "sexy", "goodbye", "common", "episode" and even "Telecom". There are probably about 100 choices for every other word in this paragraph also. Do you believe that is a viable coding system - where you have to go through 100 different choices for every single word that you write? Even the word "the" in Gematria - value of 198 - could be 99 other words. I am just genuinely curious in asking this.

Thanks Stellar! Kudos as always for the work.
