The You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. daiin and aiin are common: they cumulatively occur about 1300 times. I cannot see how our hypotheses about their meaning could influence this count.

Are you considering an, ain, and aiin to be the same thing in making that count?

Register or Login to view.Oh, I'm just talking in speculation -- early on I did try a few possibilities like Hebrew and fast realized someone else would have to solve it, if that were indeed right, because I wouldn't be able to recognize a correct answer if it were. "Avee-noo she-ba-sha-mai-yeem, yeet-ka-desh sheem-cha" would just look like new gibberish and probably be assumed, at best, to be another 'layer of code' to be broken... and it seems like if some too-little-known tongue is the correct answer, then indeed the code might have been broken before by others who didn't realize they got it right.
But otherwise, I do often see articles and blog posts where people go on about letter and language frequencies in the Voynich and yet are obviously making the error of using modern languages instead of old ones.
(My own guess for the most likely language is Latin, and German my second guess -- and maybe it's even like in the Codex Buranus or Trithemius's codes where it's a combo of both German and Latin.)
