How fast could a scribe write a Voynich like text?
#5
One thing I would say is one can probably arrange these options in a sequence of slowest to fastest. My personal ranking would be:
enciphered text > faithful copy >  sloppy copy > meaningless gibberish

and the Voynich glyphs take very few strokes to write, which would imply choice of speed (as opposed to distinguishing glyphs) as a priority when designing the alphabet. But what would exactly be the expected difference? And is that order actually accurate?
