[Article] Analysis of the relation between words within the Voynich Manuscript

[nablator]

A roughly two-to-one AB:BA ratio for tokens clearly deviates in a statistically significant fashion from this same token ratio in any text specimen examined whose meaningfulness is not in dispute. On the other hand, I fear that a two-to-one AB:BA token ratio may not be a statistically significant deviation that of stochastically pseudotext specimens of comparable length.

The results probably depend on the choice of thresholds for selecting pairs "above a certain frequency threshold" and deciding when the inverse pair "occurs much more frequently".
