Wow Jim!

That link is pretty cool.  I have a silly question though.  :)  If the
alphabet is a visual code, what made you assign the letters you did to our
"H" and our "T"?  It looks like a better match if you "flip" them.  I can
"see" the rest of them though.

Of course, choosing one possibility tends to limit the possibility of all
other possibilities.  I think Derrida said that.  So I'm curious if this
visual code could be applied to other arabic alphabets, especially languages
with similiar alpahbets like Spanish, French, or who knows what else?
Decoded voynich "words" may still look encoded if they are of a similiar
alphabet, but still another language.

Has this visual approach been applied to non-arabic langugaes?  It would be
interesting to see how it worked against something Slavic.  Or perhaps
someone would like to undertake the daunting task of looking for
similiarities in languages not centered around an alphabet, like Chineese or
Japanese.

Good work, Jim.
