The swapping of characters is not arbitrary, but just an idea I am working
on. There are groups of people who think EVA letter "t", for instance, is
1 Voynich character. I am of the ilk that believe it is 2 - notice the
left side is a 4 - EVA "q". I think "t" is actually "q" run into
"l".
There are Voynich glyphs that never appear next to each other. The
question is: is it due to the encryption scheme? Or is it due to the
author running an "e" into "i" to make "ch"?
In either case, I would think that if this was a hoax than you would find a
much more random occurrence of characters and would find ql more often.
Obviously the author had a strict set of rules which were followed.

Are these letter to character correlations entirely arbitrary?
