secretary hand and similarities with voynichese text
#1
Hello, this is my first post here so sorry if it is not in a correct area of topic but I have had this thought brewing for a couple days. I have been looking into European handwriting styles and noticed this in an example of secretary Hand.. many letters look oddly similar to voynichese. I am in no way a professional but I thought some people on this website might be able to give some thought on it.  (image attached)

Hi,

As far as I know, handwriting research is a separate huge area of the Voynich MS studies, and the secretary hand has been mentioned many times before, for example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Which specific similarities do you see in this example image? I see something similar to a and something a bit similar to p in row 5, right before the first lowercase q.
