Of course you derived your *tables* from the VMs' statistics (rather, from 
trying to match those statistics to your idea of how Quattrocento Italian 
text 'works').

However, I was under the impression that you were using an actual Italian 
plaintext to re-create your VMs lookalike text (ie, to feed back into the 
tables), and those were the statistics to which I was referring. If not, 
what *are* you using to generate your Voynichese-like text? Weighted random 
numbers?
