Right, there is no question that *some* of the Voynich characters look very
much like the ASCII equivalents chosen for them (Currier 8, 9, A, and C, for
instance). On the other hand, EVA "AIN" (which is central to the decipherment
claim I think we're discussing here) is merely "AN" in Currier, and there were
IIRC specific statistical reasons Currier did it that way.
