The most widely used transliteration, by Takahashi into EVA, is mentioned on that page, which is on Rene Zandbergen's web site. There was no intention of making EVA phonetically accurate, as we don't know how, if at all, the Voynich Manuscript text was supposed to be pronounced. However, it is reasonably pronounceable. You can find Takahashi's EVA transliteration at http://www.voynich.com/pages/PagesH.txt http://www.voynich.com/pages/PagesH.txt
- dane-pgp 6y agoFor what it's worth, there has been some work on parsing Voynich words into syllables, which might be a more helpful level to work at. "Taking into account words which couldn’t be syllabified (2.6%), words with more than three syllables (0.4%) and words with rank errors (1%) we can see that the Body Rank Order theory accounts for 96% of all word types with more than four tokens." https://agnosticvoynich.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/a-new-word-structure/ https://agnosticvoynich.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/a-new-word-...
- DonaldFisk 6y agoIt's well-known that there's a grammar of glyphs within "words" (i.e. groups of glyphs separated by spaces), but it's premature to identify syllables. Most words seem to have prefixes and suffixes, without anything in between.
