Re: qokeey (Transition between languages A and B)

Philip Neal notes:

>>If the current word is qokeey, there is a 6% chance that the next word will 
be qokeey. - [This] distribution is not characteristic of names, is very 
characteristic of all the high frequency Voynich words, and is strong 
evidence for Currier's view that the words are not words at all.<<

Another possibility is that we're looking at a language - and they're fairly 
common across the world - that forms plurals by doubling the singular form of 
the word. Thus Indonesian (this example came from the cooking directions on a 
box of oatmeal, I don't know Indonesian) orang 'person', orangorang (also 
written orang2) 'people'. (The word orangutan is related.)
