Re: VMs: Manchu theory






From: "Jan" <hurychj@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

For benefit of those who do not read Polish, let me roughly translate some interesting points from the related article, dated: 03-10-29. It means the article appeared in October, last year and there was apparently no follow-up or disclosure of proofs.

THROUGH ANALOGIES WITH OTHER ALPHABETS, CONTEMPORARY AS WELL AS ANCIENT, I SET-UP THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF PHONOLOGY . . . I SUCCEEDED TO RECOGNIZE 45 LETTERS . . .AND 50 WORDS IN MANCHURIAN LANGUAGE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE also 4-6 LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET, APPEARING (only?, my question, j.h.) ONLY IN THE FOREIGN WORDS.

I received the same message from Mr Basanik which he sent to Stolfi and others and I have replied asking for:


two pages of Voynich text in a recognisable transcription
two pages of corresponding Manchu text
a translation of the Manchu into a well known language
an account of how you get from the one to the other

From the sound of it, I suspect they will not be forthcoming but we shall
just have to wait and see.

Philip Neal
