@ReneZ
Sorry if this one is already mentioned and corrected, but I believe there may also be a typo/error in f29v.1-5 ("-5" ==> token 5).
It looks to be "als", not "ls".
I have a few other modifications to the transliteration I have been collecting; I will send them to you soon. (Most are more subjective, so I've compiled them into my customized transliteration. The one above is one of the more objective ones though and I think anyone would agree with the fix.) -

It is exactly for this reason that ivtt exists.

Fair enough - I agree it looks horrible.
As soon as one has ivtt and bitrans installed, they can be integrated in scripts and both points become non-issues.
More importantly, however, you are right about finding the bitrans tables. This is very difficult with the new web site's access rules, and I must fix it. -

Some days ago I received a kind E-mail indicating that one label in the MS, which exists in several transliteration files, and was also transcribed by Petersen, does not in fact exist.
What we see in the MS is the reverse of a word on the other side which is shining through.
In voynichese.com this is the only occurrence of (Eva: ) "dso".
It is found on f89v2 in the bottom row of plant parts.
This removes one complete locus from the text: <f89v2.26,@Lf>
Plenty of editorial work to do

As far as I understand, it's this one? I wonder what made the page nearly transparent here, there is some dark discoloration of the vellum on the other side too. Also, I think some of the apparent lines in the drawing on 89v next to this word are also from the other side. -

As a result of several changes:
- one label removed from the text (on f89v2)
- decision to also remove the three Marci-written characters from the text
- minor update to the Eva definition (adding three characters)
- others that won't mean anything to most if not all people
The ZL transliteration has been updated from issue 3a to 3b
and
The RF transliteration has been updated from issue 1a to 1b
The old versions can be accessed through the legagy page - link under the main table at:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
(This page has been cleaned up a bit, hopefully making it more readable).
The change to the ZL file also includes fixes of several transliteration errors (but there will still be plenty).
The new RF file uses extended Eva (the old one used basic Eva). If there is a wish, I could also post the reduced Eva version.
The IT, VT and GC file still include the spurious label on f89v2
