Did anybody noticed that most Voynich glyphs look like Latin letters, except EVA q, t, k, p, f. On the other hand, Latin t, k, f, p cannot be found in the Voynich Manuscript. From this we can assume that EVA t and k might stand for Latin t and k. If these letters are followed by a short vowel, the vowel is not written, because it is pronounced as swa. It was Dr. Bax who suggested that the Voynich Manuscript is written in semi-abjad, because of the reduced vowels.
Yes, I have noticed that many of the Voynich characters look like Latin characters so that makes me think the creator of the Voynich alphabet did have knowledge of Latin. But for some reason, he made the choice to create a work in a language that does not appear to be Latin. For years I have been pondering the question of why someone who was educated in Latin would want to create a work that was not in Latin. There are several possible answers. I think the most common ones that have been offered are:
- it's gibberish (maybe he started hearing voices in his head)
- he wanted to hide the knowledge he was sharing about the topic (very odd considering all the illustrations)
- he wanted to share the information in a language other than Latin (possibly for people who did not know Latin)
Why would he keep some of the Latin characters but not all of them? What is special about the characters he felt the need to replace?
