Re: VMs: Is it a human language? (was Moot points, getting long)



Hi John,

Voynichese is undoubtedly weird.
A sequence like Rugg's example of "qokedy qokedy dal qokedy qokedy"
doesn't sound very natural, however it might actually be pronounced.  On
the other hand, neither does "Come-a come-a down dooby doo down down," or
however that's spelled, and it's been pointed out that we can't tell the
difference between words and numbers, on the assumption that the text
contains both.

Hmmm... could this be the birth of a new "VMs-as-Motown" hypothesis? :-9


Let's see: the directional demons of f57v could be the Four Tops... the circular diagrams could represent vinyl record covers (you remember those)... the nymph with a crown can only be Diana Ross, queen of Motown... her attendant nymphs would be The Supremes (or perhaps Martha & The Vandellas?)... the text contains lyrics, where "daiin" encodes the much-repeated word "baby" ("Oh baby baby baby where did our love go?" would be "o daiin daiin daiin chedy ol chor qol cho")...

...or maybe not. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
