What is the current status of the transcription?
JoJo_Jost > 6 hours ago
I’m having trouble with the Bavarian cipher—I’m finding interesting and coherent words that, in terms of how frequently they appear, also match other Middle High German recipe books; actually, a lot of it fits together. But there seem to be certain letter combinations that sometimes work and sometimes don’t.
And that’s when I noticed this example: 9v, line 5.
I’m concerned with the “cc” and “ee.” If I’m seeing this correctly, I could read the first “cc” as a “tc,” while I could read the second “cc” as a “cz,” and the “ee” as a “ce”... or maybe none of that is correct, but if it is, that would be discouraging—because we have the “a/o” problem, problems with the “Gallows”... R problems... and that would completely turn all the statistical and other analyses upside down.
And so I’m asking myself:
What is the most current transcription, or the most accurate one?
Does it even make sense to ask that?
Is Eva a dead end that thousands of people have walked into, when Stolfi is already doubting it (if I’ve understood correctly)?
I’m a bit at a loss right now...

The transliteration itself is not the main problem IMO. It's the choices you make when parsing and processing the text. Do you group glyphs together? Do you count every single glyph or discard some? Whether you transpose glyphs, split and shuffle words around, skip words, all those choices have greater impact on your end results.
