Quote:The relevance of word games to the VM is this: if you love language or if you like to do crosswords you can 'do' the VM. With the help of a good Latin dictionary. Also, if you see it as a game with words you will be more likely to see the patterns of Latin rhyme and aliteration, and semantic analogies between stems or roots, which I prefer to call semantic core concepts or cores. Look at the VM script as sequences of prefix-core-suffix and you will find Latin words by the hundreds.
Quote:Back to the medieval public baths. It would make good sense to address the sensibilities of ladies "of the better sort" by ensuring that they did not bathe downstream of the plebs. The Voynich Manuscript appears to show such a bathing hierarchy. It also clearly shows the waste being discharged to the ground, where it is of use only to wild creatures, being likely to cause deformities in humans.
