@ R. Sale, thanks for your clarification. I may have misread your post and I apologize. As I said also your question is a good one since we all want to see if we can find new ways. I hear your skepticism, and it is a healthy and necessary one. Without it, we would be playing the same tennis game, not to deny good games people have played so far.
Given the decades of trying by highly trained minds, I feel that at some point I need to choose to focus only on the most reliable steps I can personally feel confident about for the walking. The text solutions offered have been many and not all of us are native to the claimed languages to be able to verify for ourselves, no matter how well the proposals may be. I have to rely only on the steps I can feel more confident about, and there are not many in the VM road, unfortunately. I am hopeful and learning from the forum conversations, to the extent time allows and even there I have to be selective. There was a life before Voynich and there will hopefully be one after Voynich!
The VM research reminds me of the movie “Arrival”. Since we don’t know the language we have to rely on the visuals of the images and also especially of the text. I think it is the safest way to proceed. In a way, the author must have been trying to make the text more tangible for herself and loved ones (and for us) by way of the visuals as well.
@ Doireannjane, yes that is also a good way of putting it.
