Aha. But there is still a difference in the entropy for the various
transcriptions?

If you add noise, you increase entropy (noise adds unpredicatbility).
The low entropy of the vms is not due to the EVA alphabet, as I pointed out
yesterday. In all available alphabets, the entropy value of Voynichese is
lower than in most natural languages.
