Re: VMs: transcriptions and shorthand notes

[Ted Young <tyoung1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You read my mind.  Just this weekend I noticed some striking symmetry in the
Voynich alphabet (or whatever it may be).  I have laid out the alphabet in
the following table.  This is by no means the only way to group them, nor
does it bring up any obvious solutions.  Just thought that it might inspire
someone.

On a side note, I found something slightly off topic.  Our old friends Dee
and Kelly up to something again.  :-)
