A question for all you Linguistics experts out there: Is it reasonable to think that the scribes who created the Voynich Manuscript sometimes used the EVA "l" ( l ) to mean the "L" sound and sometimes to mean the "R" sound?
I'm asking because of the EVA word "cphol" ( cphol ). I checked "cphol" on daiin.net. It lists 15 matches on 13 pages.
11 of the 15 are on pages with illustrations of plants.
2 of the 15 are on pages that are text only.
2 of the 15 are on pages that have illustrations that are highly debated regarding their meaning.
I'm still puzzling over how to read Benched Gallows. I'm starting to think that maybe EVA "cph" ( cph ) should be read as p + vowel + č/c to give something like poč or peč or pač.
Possibly EVA "cth" ( cth ) should be read as t + vowel + č/ž.
Regarding the creation of the Benched Gallows, from a strictly mechanical point of view, I think it makes the most sense to make the large part first and then put the small parts under it. When you put up a Christmas tree, you don't place the packages first. You put up the Christmas tree and then place the packages under it. It's a lot easier that way. It's a lot easier than wondering how large to make the Bench when you know you plan to put a Gallows on it. If it is inked that way, I think it makes sense to read it that way.
