Could "a" be a ligature? - Rafal - 10-03-2025
Have a look:

How do you think? May the symbol which we transcribe as "a" be a kind of ligature which is actually "ci"?
Do you think it's impossible, improbable, possible or sure?
Notice that:
- there is a often a small hole in the botom of Voynichese "a", not like in our regular "a"
- the right side of "a" is slant, just like Voynichese "i"
Personally I think it is probable but we cannot be sure. It also doesn't change anything at the moment, currently reading "a" as "ci" doesn't give
us any advantage. But at some moment it could be useful.
