If a circle is placed in line with a line of text, then my first guess would be just the letter "o"
That's why I was intrigued by learning that "o" stands for "auch" in some dialects.(01-05-2021, 04:22 PM)Searcher wrote: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.In one of my posts I wrote that I think it's just a misspelling, I don't think it is regular.
Could be, but, as I say, I consider that's highly unlikely given the amount of text that one had to write. The probability of misspelling in three thousand words is decent, the probability of misspelling in half a line is virtually zero. Even if so, it would have been immediately corrected, would not have gone unnoticed.

I don't think that research matters are matters of belief. There are several German speakers participating in this thread, some of them native speakers, and I don't know why one should "believe" e.g. Helmut while not "believing" e.g. Aga. This is really matter of argument and comparative analysis. Show me a case where "mich" is consistently "milk" (or, even much better for the Voynich research, show me the historic region where it's been so), and that would be really solid argument.
