Thoughts on the possibility of multiple "alphabets" (more precisely, multiple rules for ordering or re-ordering glyphs within "words").

The ten most frequent "words" in the four major thematic sections of the Voynich manuscript; and the conformity of each "word" to Zattera's "slot alphabet". Keyboard assignments from author's v101④ transliteration. Author's analysis.

i think that it may not even be an alphabet as we would expect it at all. I think that the symbols are partially some sort of language while some of them are actually indicators of plants.

For example: Many of the voynich letters closely match the overall shape of plants displayed in the drawings.

f5v -> q
f8r -> 8
f9r -> 8 with a little open twist on the bottom

f10r -> gallows with one loop
f10v -> gallows with two loops

and on and on. Every plant has one of the letters used in the writing and in fact on the page f57r there is a showing of every letter on a single diagram indicating that either the letters represent plants, or the plants represent letters.

Just a thought...
