	When I think about it ... (non seriously of course), I' d translate
it to
	EVA "qo"
	q=4 horizontal strokes (as "r" give to hor. strokes) and  "o"
open square
	       thus the hanzi for language,word (yû, yù) could be translated
into:qorino.
	So  our gallows could be more complex stroke combinations.
	As there are just a few basic strokes in Chinese Ideographs, youcan
have some
	VMS chars as combination symbols, thus resulting in not so long
tokens:
	 (yû,yù) has 14 strokes. Maybe someone knows the  mean stroke count
of the most common Hanzis? (30 strokes max)
	Not serious, but supporting the Chinese theory from start (without
knowing
	there is one)

	PS: the radikal for sun (square with hor. stroke inside is d (8) and
eye sun+ another stroke inside would be "di" or "or" etc.

		No, yin1 (sound) is: dian3, heng2, dian3, dian3, heng2,
shu4,
	heng2-zhe2,
		heng2, heng2

		The nasty one is yan2 "word" (as in wen2yan2 and yu3yan2):

		dian2, heng2, heng2, heng2, shu4, heng2-zhe2, heng2

		Seems like the Voynich words are far, far too short.

		Still, it was, is, a wonderful idea.
