Register or Login to view.In real languages, the correlation is usually slightly positive: long words tend to follow long words, short after short. But in the Voynich, it’s negative (about –0.07). That means the text tends to alternate — long words are followed by short words, and short by long.
It gives the text a zig-zag rhythm.
If that is a 'normalised' correlation, i.e. not a covariance, then the value -0.07 means 'no correlation'.
So, it depends on how it was calculated.

This is not expected, and suggests that both cases effectively show 'no correlation'.
