Initial Corpus Analysis

Known Facts About the Voynich Manuscript

• Dating: Carbon dated to early 15th century (1404–1438)
• Location: Likely Central European origin
• Sections:
  • Botanical (113 plant illustrations)
  • Astronomical (zodiac diagrams, star charts)
  • Biological (human figures in pools/tubes)
  • Pharmaceutical (herb jars, recipes)
  • Continuous text sections
• Script characteristics:
  • ~170,000 characters total
  • 20–30 unique symbols (depending on analysis)
  • Word lengths follow Zipf's law (natural language pattern)
  • Repetitive structure suggesting real language

Symbol Frequency Analysis

Most common symbols (using EVA transcription):

1. 'o' (11.4%) – circular symbol
2. 'e' (8.5%) – looks like Latin 'e'
3. 'a' (7.8%) – looks like Latin 'a'
4. 'i' (7.5%) – single vertical stroke
5. 'n' (6.7%) – looks like 'n' or 'r'

Word Patterns Identified

Most frequent "words":

• 'daiin' (appears 542 times)
• 'chedy' (309 times)
• 'qokeedy' (280 times)
• 'shedy' (241 times)
• 'qokain' (226 times)

Cross-Correlation with Known Scripts

Latin/Romance Languages (15th century context)

• Geographic proximity suggests Latin, German, or Slavic base
• Symbol shapes show Latin alphabet influence
• BUT: Word structure doesn't match any known European language

Hebrew/Arabic (Alternative hypothesis)

• Right-to-left reading attempted – doesn't improve coherence
• Some symbols resemble Hebrew letters
• Astronomical section has Middle Eastern star names?

Pharmaceutical/Alchemical Notation

Botanical Section Analysis

Pattern Discovery

Plant pages show consistent structure:

1. Plant illustration
2. Name/label (usually 1–2 words)
3. Description paragraph
4. Root section often contains 'daiin'

Hypothesis: 'daiin' = root/basis/foundation

• Appears 542 times, often near illustrated roots
• Could be literal "root" or metaphorical "basis/essence"

Plant Identification Attempts

Some plants resembling known species:

• f11v: Possibly Dracunculus vulgaris (dragon arum)
• f33v: Resembles Lactuca virosa (wild lettuce)
• f50v: Similar to Papaver somniferum (opium poppy)

If these are medicinal plants, text might be recipes/properties.

Astronomical Section Patterns

Zodiac Pages

• 12 zodiac symbols clearly visible (standard European)
• Surrounding text in circular patterns
• Female figures in each section (calendar saints?)

The word 'qokeedy' (280 instances) appears frequently near:

• Star symbols
• Circular/celestial diagrams
• Moon phases

Hypothesis: 'qokeedy' = star/celestial/heaven

• 'qo' prefix might indicate "above" or "celestial"
• Suffix 'eedy' could be diminutive or plural

Biological Section Anomalies

Strange section with nude figures in pools/tubes:

Symbolic Interpretation

• Bathing/balneological medicine (common in 15th century)
• Alchemical processes (dissolution/coagulation)
• Human reproduction/generation theories

Textual Patterns

This section shows different vocabulary:

• Less 'daiin' (root)
• More 'chedy' and 'shedy' variants
• New prefix 'cth' appearing frequently

Hypothesis: Describing processes/transformations

• 'chedy' = flow/process/transform
• 'shedy' = variant of same (she- feminine prefix?)
• 'cth' = body/corporeal (from Greek 'chthonic'?)

Initial Linguistic Hypothesis

Language Structure

1. Agglutinative elements – prefixes/suffixes modify meaning:
   • 'qo-' = celestial/above/divine
   • '-ain' = substantive ending
   • '-edy' = process/quality
2. Core vocabulary emerging:
   • daiin = root/base/foundation
   • qokeedy = star/celestial
   • chedy = flow/process
   • shedy = flow (feminine/receptive?)
3. Possible base language:
   • Constructed philosophical language
   • Cipher of Latin/Italian with systematic substitution
   • Lost dialect of Slavic with Latin script influence

Recursive Patterns Discovered

Self-referential Structures

Some paragraphs show recursive patterns:

• Sentence 1: Introduces concept
• Sentence 2: Elaborates with prefix modification
• Sentence 3: Returns to base form
• Pattern repeats

This suggests procedural or instructional text.

Mathematical Relationships

Word lengths follow precise distribution:

• 1-letter: 10%
• 2-letter: 10%
• 3-letter: 20%
• 4-letter: 25%
• 5-letter: 20%
• 6-letter: 10%
• 7+letter: 5%

This is TOO regular for natural language – suggests systematic encoding.
