Agreeing on standard transliteration files to use
#6
This is something that's popped up a lot over the years. Which is "best"? Who knows?
Through trial and error, transcribers have slowly come to realise that we can't map Voynich glyphs to a transcription alphabet, because we can't even agree on what a glyph is.
Some years ago I proposed merging different transcriptions and identifying problem vords which could then be manually sorted and fixed. Nothing ever came of it, mainly through my own inaction.
I still think it's a good way forwards. Mix them all together, using one standard transcription character set, and see where the different files don't agree.
