	GC,

	Sometimes your 'colour' is just a little too colourful. 8-)

	Anyway, in reference to the oddity of the word ending in 'i' I don't think
anyone decided that and EVA <i> couldn't end a word - it just didn't in all
but
this one circumstance (I think). The fact that you agree that this assertion
is
correct doesn't do much in the way of making a point. The possibility that
the author
ran out of room seems reasonable since we don't have much else to go on.
However,
I think that 'm' is normally the expected
'oops-I-ran-out-linespace-so-guess-the
rest-of-the-word-when-reading' ending to a voynich word.

>> No one seems to have differentiated here on the variations of this
pattern.
 If as many of us 'assume', the <in> and <iin> are indeed {n} and {m}
respectively,
what is the EVA <n> by itself?

	Don't forget that sometimes the 'n' is part of an '@', just like sometimes
a 'y' or an 'o' is part of a 'ch'...

>> These are glyph patterns, one-two-three strokes, and all three can be
found in the
middle of words, only without the distinguishing flourish that makes an <i>
an <n>.

	Interesting, and how exactly can one tell that the 'i' in the middle of a
word
is actually an 'n' and not an 'r','l', or even a 'j'?

	John.
