Is that OK for any cohesive text, even if we mind that there might be different word forms?
This looks like a very limited basic vocabulary with a high amount of specific terms?!

Quote:It might be unusual for natural language, but such statistics are based on the assumption that the vord breaks in the VMS are actual word breaks... they may not be.
Quote:Let's consider a pharmaceutical recipe book. A limited set of words would be repeated very frequently, such as "for", "take", "and", "then", "until", "healthy", and some words relative to quantities like numbers and common measurements (eg: one, two, or three drachms) might be frequent too, but the ingredients as well as the ailments, which would represent a large number of words in the text, would tend be much more unique.
It might yield some really interesting results to do a detailed comparison of vord frequency in specific sections of the Voynich such as the "pharma" and "recipe" sections with some actual medieval pharmaceutical recipe texts and see what happens.
Quote:Regarding your latest observation: among these 55 most frequent vords that appear more than 100 times, are there some that stand out because they are particularly frequent? Are there vords that show up say, 1000 times in the Voynich?

For the more complicated stuff, basic 'awk' and if necessary 'perl' scripts did the job.
