Old Czech (Bohemian) or Moravian - pjburkshire - 19-10-2026
Background: Bess and I disagree on many basic interpretations so I probably shouldn't continue to post my ideas in her thread.

Review: I strongly suspect that the mystery language of the Voynich Manuscript is Old Czech (Bohemian) or Moravian. I am working on updating the EVA alphabet. So far:
EVA → Update
a → ?
d → d
l → r
r → ?
s → s
t → v
v → ?
y → a
The "Rules" so far:
- May need to drop the first "o" character.
- Update the EVA characters.
- Vowels are flexible.
Like many people, I think the words on the top of page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are the Five Classical Greek Elements.
Air: olkchs → lkchs → rkchs → ?? "rauch" (wind)
Water: otedy → tedy → veda → ? "voda" or "vodou" (water)
Aether: otork → tork → vo?k → ?? "vrch" (the upper atmosphere)
Fire: otol → tol → vor / var → ? "var" (fire, heat)
Earth (Land): dchdy → dchda → ?? "deža" (earth, clay)
The only ones I feel really good about are "voda" (water) and "var" (fire) but I think the other three may work out if I can figure out more letters.
I previously talked about the solo "s" character meaning "with" in Czech.

It looks like the solo "a" character means "and" in Czech.
If I am reading EVA "y" ( y ) as "a", then the solo EVA "y" ( y ) could mean "and". If I counted correctly, it looks like the solo EVA "y" ( y ) appears 50 times in the 20 pages of Quire 13.
Woo-hoo!! Do we have two confirmed Czech words?
I know, two solo character words aren't going to convince anyone but it supports "otedy" ( otedy ) → "voda".
