Re: VMs: Finding_02



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.

Can you please point to such cases? 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. :-)
