Quote:Anton: do you mean that the "i" shape is so uncommon in contemporary scripts?
Not that exclusively, rather that the pair of "c" and "inclined-i" shapes was picked out for serving as basis for constructing many shapes of the Voynich alphabet. Once again, the issue that I highlight is not whether the Voynichese glyphs do or do not appear in conemporary scripts. It is whether there is something special in the particular pair of "c" and "inclined-i" that it was chosen out of many other possible opportunities.

That's true, but they can't be both left at the same time.
