Re: VMs: Re: "Voynich Vision"
2 ideas:
1)
Quoting Jacques Guy <jguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

yes ...
about these statistics ...
has anybody checked out, what will happen to stats,
if you take a language normally written in syllabic abugida (or, offtopic, in a
consonantic alphabet) and write it down in a phonetic alphabet?
Most languages in "Farther India" use abugida. If they are close enough by
stats, we are a little bit more free to move westwards (par exemple to
Indoeuropean lands) in our search.
2)
again the available text sample of Chakma:
http://www.worldscriptures.org/pages/chakma.html
"God" is clearly "Ishyor", the second "or" in "Ishyoror" is a piece of grammar.
(btw, "Shior" in Bangla means also "God") I think it's probably a descendant of
"Ahura" (Mazda), and there comes the Zoroastrianism again... could we find some
corner, where "God" is just "Or", not "Shior"/"Ishior"? (to speculate the very
last words "oror sheey"). The Chakma language looks quite close IMO. But could
we find a better fit?
Anyway, at Johonor_1.4.-8. we have another frequent piece of grammar "sei", as
far as we looked for "oror sheey".
