Re: vms <--> english dictinary

[Jorge Stolfi <stolfi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

.....and here is a "decoding" into Vietnamese, using the Cadman
Pentateuch frequency-ranked wordlist. (Note that "?", "(", and "." are
tone marks in Vietnamese words, while "?" means "unreadable" in
Voynichese words).

    # Fun "deciphering" of the VMS
    # Tokens mapped to Vietnamese by voyn-to-viet-fun.tbl
