Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript
#13
One thing I appreciate in this work is that the main author is a native speaker of the candidate language. My impression is that several poor attempts with Latin are due to insufficient linguistic competence.
I also appreciate that they say that the ms appears to be written in verse: the relevance of poetry as a parallel has been discussed by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and it could help explain some LAAFU (line as a functional unit) effects.

Finally, their work on f67r1 as a calendar should be easy to understand and verify, when we have all the details. I couldn't find any confirmation for Seperu / Seferi meaning "November", but things like that could be easily confirmed or rejected by someone familiar with Turkish. Since they could only match 5 of the 12 hypothetic month names, their translation of something so less constrained as a whole herbal page seems to me necessarily unreliable and premature.
