VMs: Re: f11v - dd vs. gg

["JH" <haleyj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Florin

You mean something like this. The first part is 'voynich lookalike', though
the letter orders are wrong. I could spend a couple of months making it
look more like the VMS but life is too short. The second part is the plain
text.

vocatus sive citationes sex spiritum sub

eiusque tubam circuli compositio nomina

This method expands the text due to its
verbose nature.
