[split] The Zipf law and the Voynich Manuscript
#30
Comparison with 'normal' text may not be valid if the VMs is not a "NORMAL" text. 

Suppose the VMs author had strong religious beliefs, and s/he would go off on these rants, where everything is either holy / blessed or it is damned / cursed. A few dozen pages like that would shift the statistics.

PS: Better yet, perhaps these are the standard descriptive terms: hot, cold, wet and dry. They would have been used a lot in botanical descriptions.
