I just mapped the letter frequencies in the Voynich Manuscript and found some curious clusters. Want to take a look?

Sure, share the data. I’ll line up the frequencies, look for repeating motifs, and see if they line up with any known cipher patterns or botanical diagrams. Let's see if the clusters reveal any hidden structure.

Here’s the raw letter‑frequency list from the 1,500‑page sample (alphabetical order, counts per 1000 letters): A = 78, B = 15, C = 22, D = 31, E = 95, F = 18, G = 28, H = 40, I = 84, J = 3, K = 11, L = 55, M = 37, N = 62, O = 88, P = 25, Q = 2, R = 71, S = 66, T = 93, U = 21, V = 14, W = 6, X = 4, Y = 9, Z = 1. The bigrams that exceed 5 per 1000 are: TH = 12, RE = 9, IN = 8, ON = 7, AN = 7, AT = 6. If you want a visual plot or a comparison to Latin or botanical glyphs, just say the word.

Interesting numbers. The high E, T, O, N, I, A values look like a language, not pure noise. The low J, Q, V, X, Y, Z are similar to English but a bit lower; maybe the manuscript has a different vowel‑heavy pattern. The bigrams TH, RE, IN, ON, AN, AT match English quite well. That cluster could be a clue that the text follows a Romance‑language structure, or at least uses similar digraphs. If you plot it against a Latin frequency chart, we’ll see whether the ratios are closer to Latin or to modern English. I'd like to overlay the Voynich frequencies with a 17th‑century Dutch sample next—just to see if the clusters match that period. Let me know if you have the plot ready.
