Quote:About a year ago I published a decoding table on the Voynich Ninja forum. Mr. Cheshire used 8 symbols from it for his translation.
"Correct" in the sense of morally correct, I assume.
I'm not sure if that's scientiffically correct.
I'm sure Hoffmann will expand on that further and show a few more examples where his interpretation matches Cheshire's. However one should consider that two people are interpreting the same same cryptic text with the same painted pictures around it. Overlaps are hard to avoid here. So unless something's really obscure about the coincidences, I wouldn't take it too seriously in regards to plagiarism. -

Eight similar symbols means nothing.
Maybe it was plagiarized, maybe it wasn't, but if you consider that "a" looks like a vowel, "o" looks like a vowel, "r" looks like an "r" and several other letters look like Latin letters, anyone who does translations based on something similar to the Latin shape-mates is going to overlap in terms of their transliteration.
Personally, I don't think it matters in this case. I don't believe either Hoffman's or Cheshire's interpretations have any validity. Neither one is grammatical, and both require a very high degree of interpretation. They are "one-person" subjective solutions. They can't be replicated by other people. -

The herb depicted is somehow new to the people, thus it has to been tested, whether the powder is authentic: 1) the powder is shiny 2) you get a runny nose 3) the powder has a stench smell 4) it is an aphrodisiac.
And, which herb is it? Exactly, as seen on the page, it is a pumpkin, which was carried to europe some time after the year 1492.
Think about dog latin, or comparable forms of latin, in case you want to translate. al=alere, ur=urere, rad=radere, lin=linere.
A funny joke is on that page. You can see two faces down there at the end of the roots. Guess what? If you decode line one of that page, you will come up with: " 1 Cur met ur natu nite ea ne rEMane nerva onera da fa os merace ai nero ve amen nexus"
Nerva and Nero were two roman emperor. At least Nero suffered from something (described by Celsus) that could have been treated with pumpkin powder, if pumpkin would have existed in europe in that time.
Line 2 is nice. It ends with "tace tacet", which is a known musical term.
Currently I am working on page 78. It is about a way to calculate ("rechnen mit linien", calculate with lines), which is far better than using fingers. I would like to present it here, next time.
Thanks,
Michael

If the forum will permit me to paraphrase a post that I have made on another thread: in response to any proposal that the Voynich manuscript is written in (or derived from) a specified language, the forum should expect the proposer to match, however approximately, the glyph frequencies with the letter frequencies in that language.
For example (assuming that the text dates from the fifteenth century), if it is proposed that Latin is the precursor language, the proposer should be expected to cite the frequencies of Latin letters as written in the fifteenth century.
I think that the broadest representation of Latin letter frequencies is that in the LatinISE corpus. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. The LatinISE corpus has a medieval subcorpus which should represent Latin texts of the fifteenth century, although I have not been able to find the time period to which it refers. Alternatively, we could refer to the letter frequencies in a specific medieval Latin text, for example Dante Alighieri’s Monarchia, written between 1312 and 1313.
The frequencies of the glyphs in the v101 transliteration, in descending order, and the frequencies of the letters in the LatinISE medieval subcorpus, have a correlation of 95.9 percent; the v101 glyph frequencies with the letter frequencies in Monarchia, a correlation of 93.3 percent.
In the context of a proposal to map Voynich glyphs to Latin letters, these tables permit a test of whether the proposed Latin equivalents have comparable frequencies to those of the respective glyphs.

I must confess that I haven't read all your comments on the matter, but in your one-to-one mappings you seem to ignore the possibility of a verbose cipher or a filler text amongst other possibilities. In such a case the underlying language could well be Latin. -

@ dfs 346
your fundamental mistake, among others, is that you use for your statistics printed texts, while the VMs is a handwritten text whose amount espeially of vowels is quite different from a printed text. Another is that you mix up glyphs and letters
And the VMs IS Latin, what else -

Comparing sign frequences of Voynichese vs natural languages like Latin would work only if Voynichese would be a simple
substitution cipher, sign for a sign.
I believe that we can exclude it once and for all. Do you think that guys like William Friedman or Prescott Currier wouldn't solve it
if it was such simple case? -
RE: Voynich decoded completely
Koen G > 07-12-2023, 02:51 PM
In my opinion, discussing which language Voynichese could be at the current stage makes no sense. No matter how you twist it, statistically it does not behave like any language. It's like debating which fuel to use for your bicycle, or discussing which hair conditioner to use even though you're bald. We need to get a car first, or grow some hair.
Again, depending on which statistic you look at (mostly entropy, I guess), Voynichese is simply too far removed from language altogether. Introducing obscure dialects does not help, since they never improve the relevant statistics to a sufficient degree. If they did, they would probably not function as a language. Introducing different writing systems like abjads tends to worsen the problem, so the solution isn't there either. And assuming abbreviation makes the entropy problem worse, not better. Proclaiming that of course it is Latin does not help anyone either.
If we ever find meaning in Voynichese, the first step will be to discover how it encodes information. How it can encode any information, in any language. -

If language is not the subject of discussion, what is?
About the images? The stem has already been chewed off of this lollipop.
There are 2 languages represented in the VM. One is German and the other is something similar to Latin. It's certainly not Latin, but neither is Ladin or Romansh. Or whatever all the other dialects are called.
A bicycle runs on muscle fat, which is also a kind of oil.
F116 "marix morix" Nespresso may not be Latin. But "n'expresso" is.
It's time to become a little more flexible.
