In my previous post You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I suggested that "a" letter could actually be "ei" and people in general said that it is possible. Now I would like to go deeper into analysis of Voynich letters because some of them may be something different then it seems at first glance.
First of all, there is something like diacritical marks which can be added to many letters. They don't exist in English but do exist in many other languages:

I won't go into any serious linguistics here but I would say that they change the letter a bit but not totally. Take the Spanish word "Español", "ñ" is not "n" but is not totally different from "n", it's some altered variant of "n".
And now how would you say, does Voynich script has its own kind of diacritical marks?
I would say it's possible. Have a look:

Do you think it's possible that for example "r" is "i" with some "accent" added?
And would you agree that the same accents may be added to "i" and "e"?
And are "i" and "r" in the same relationship as "e" and "s"?
Personally I think it's possible. But there is a question - what next? Does it give us any advantage if we decide that these letters are related, are diactrical variants of other letters?
Did anybody research it further?
