(marked with a red arrow), so it's not limited to EVA q's. Could this be a retouch job?

Register or Login to view.My hope was that differences in ink darkness in the VMs could be used to gain insight into when a scribe paused during writing, since that could have implications for an encoding method. For example, if the writer consistently wrote [chor] as [cho] (pause) [r], or [char] as [ch] (pause) [ar], that could potentially reveal something about the meaningful units or building-blocks of Voynichese. There does seem to be some such patterning among light/dark contrasts. But the more I look at other documents and read others' thoughts here, the less sure I am what to make of it.
