Register or Login to view.Yes, there are a few other posts on the next page. There could be complications, special rules for apparent ligatures and gallows. In the experiments I did there were no special rules, but many null words. Now I realize that null words are not necessarily a bad thing.
I couldn't find the exact rules you used, is there any post or article where I can see them?
Quote:In any case, the first question I have for potential cipher candidates: are they relatively easy to read and write to warrant using them for a whole book. Is it possible to just read it off the page?Ease of use was the main design constraint. To cipher, it requires a good look at a table to find a zigzag path that goes through the letters of a chunk of plaintext, which would explain the frequent small horizontal and vertical offsets, as if the scribe had been interrupted and had to take a look elsewhere before continuing. Deciphering is done by following the zigzag path defined by Voynichese glyphs interpreted as 2D coordinates (xyxyxy...) on the table. Not as easy as a simple mono-alphabetical substitution cipher but not as difficult as using a large nomenclator key, or cipher wheels, or code book, because the letters and Voynichese glyphs are easy to find in the table with a little practice, a glance would be enough.
