"Abnormal" words - stopsquark - 28-04-2025
While I'm aware that we don't know what the grammatical rules are for Voynichese, we have some general sense of how common certain character combinations are- for instance, a minim sequence is almost never found at the start of a word, consecutive benched gallows are fairly uncommon, etc. I'm curious about how many words we can find that apparently violate the conventions of the system.
One that I can think of off the top of my head- in the Rosettes map on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , the center of the upper-leftmost path contains the word "ddssSex" in EVA. This is one of very few places in the MS that we see an x, a doubled s, OR a doubled d. What other rare word-forms like this exist? Bonus points if they're robust to transcription choices- i.e., if no matter how you interpret ambiguous letterforms, the words incorporate characters or strings that are uncommon.
