I don't have my notes handy, but I know they were in the early where
characters were more spaced and thus better defined.
Taking a quick look I think http://voynich.no-ip.com/folios/f2v.jpg shows
"u" fairly
First word, first line:
koo "u" d
Last word, 3rd line
d a "u" d
I know there are much more convincing examples. I will pull
out my notes this weekend and let you know where they are.

Given that u and v were interchangeable circa 1500, your sharp eyes may have spotted a more substantive numbering system carefully hidden in the subtle nuances of dain, daiin, daiiin, daiun, daun, dauin, etc. :-) Cheers, .....Nick Pelling..... ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx with a body saying: unsubscribe vms-list |
