Register or Login to view.I have a trifle suggestion.A "chunk" is just reading a fixed amount of data, usually a substantial amount. What you want is a "string" -- an array of characters in a specific order. We also have a term for the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design -- it's word.
Now and then we have to refer to the notion of Voynichese "words". Sometimes they are called "words" (which is not strictly true, because we are not sure that they represent words really), sometimes they are called "tokens", which does not look to me a 100% perfect designation neither, from the linguistics point of view.
Perhaps if we borrow a term from the IT world we may call them "chunks".
If you want to use chunk I suggest you use it for paragraphs since we aren't sure they are paragraphs yet
On vord I'm in favor of inventing as little jargon as possible. More jargon means a smaller number of people willing to join the discussion, plus it sounds like the evil alien race in a SciFi B-movie.
