hi robert & all :-)

This is NOT to robert, but TO ALL, it (IT) is a "Hobson's Choice", 
(per ES), one _MUST Fold_ the key to disclose its contents..period! 
IT was _set up_ just for this purpose (sorry all).*The TIME is NOW*
searching "Hobson's Choice" one will find there is no alternative but 
the ONE! = (aNswEr)! 

well, enough ~pushy stuff~ I had Chicken & Dumplins for dinner and off 
to bed.. good luck ALL & "FOLD YOUR KEY!!" I think 
www.diac.com/~ekwall2/voynich/ is back on line now - YEA?  (albeit via 
hawaii 
209.213.47.138) now.

Best to all &
Best to you & yours :-)

Hobson's Choice = there is only 1 answer!

 Subject: VMs: The Letter Table on f1r
 
 I spent some time last night using Photoshop to try and bring
 out detail of the letter table, to decidedly poor results. That may
 be because of the poor quality copy I have of that folio.
 
 I used the brightness/contrast and even inverted
 the black and white.
 
 In the leftmost line, "a, b, c" were plain enough, and I could 
 make out "d" and "e". The only other letter I could identify 
 was "g".
 
 In the second line, where Jim Reeds read (EVA) <d> I saw
 <s>. That was the only thing visible in that column.
 
 The third column was not visible at all.  Does anybody have
 a better copy of that folio?
 
 Here are Reed's results:
 
 a    <d>
 c    <r>
 q---\
 r------ a gallows letter
 s---/
 y    <g>
 
 Of these four, two agree with Jorge Stolfi's vowel/consonant
 list and one does not. The identification of <g> as a "y" places
 it at the end of a row of vowels.
 
 Robert
