VMs: Cyrilic

[Stefan Urbanek <stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to match voynich characters to cyrilic alphabet? Note that
cyrilic italics or hand written has different shapes for some characters (most
notable is cyrilic italics 'm' is 'T'). There are also some characters that
denote palatalisation of previous character (soft sign, hard sign), therefore
are not pronounced.

Here you can see italics form (at the bottom half):

Matching to cylirics would mean, for example, that what in currently used
voynich transcription is 't' (two parallel lines joined at the top with two
loops) would be 'p' when compared to cyrilic.

If this was discussed already, can someone give me more pointers?

Regards,

Stefan
