 Interesting. I have often said that the best way to analyse the internal 
 structure
 of the words is to assume that characters get deleted from a fixed
 sequence such as EVA qolkshedary:
 
 qolkshedary --> qo k  ed  y --> qokedy
 qolkshedary -->  ol  she ar  --> olshear
 
 What I don't see is how the idea about four tables is supposed to fit
 in with this. I see in general how it works but I can't reproduce the
 proposed encipherment of etiam.
 
 Why four tables and not some other number?

############################################ 
#   F O U R (4) tables create the KEY      #
# Mirror image(s) yeild E I G H T (tables) #
############################################ 

 Before the last step in which the ciphertext is arbitrarily divided into
 cipher words, are there only three possible initials for the sequences
 enciphering an individual plaintext character?
 
 In terms of the hidden gap analysis of Voynich word structure, how
 do you explain the many cases where there are three or more
 hidden gaps?
 
 Assuming that the manuscript is a genuine cipher, this is the kind of
 cipher I would expect it to be, but I think there are many features
 of Voynichese which this particular proposal does not cover.
