You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. will have to do because I don't have a thread for it.
In case it's of any use, here's a link to another "path" cipher seeking to mimic Voynichese:

This "checkerboard" cipher has similarities to Nablator's path cipher, but also some differences. I haven't brought it up here until now because I think there are a couple other imaginative models that could match the patterning of Voynichese more closely (a cumulative cipher + syllable-by-syllable encoding, with each "word" being a syllable). But I did come up with a use for opening gallows glyphs and such that made some sense, and this other example might help you scope out the range of variation this sort of approach could have had.
