# Only the first two words of line 3 look like Voynichese.
#
# Transcription uses the "best matches" from Rene's German alphabet (RGA),
# with the following additions/deviations:
#
#   8    similar to RGA "d" (mainline variant), but the upper loop is smaller
#          than the lower loop, and almost straight above it.
#   à    An "a" with a faint dot over it (probably noise).
#   ç    A "c" with a vertical serif at the top end.
#   h    very much like RGA "h", but with open bottom
#   í    A straight, short, thick descending stroke with a
#          straight, long, thin "acute accent"; like
#          an EVA "r" but with straight plume
#   j    a partially obscured glyph; what can be seen looks
#          like a printed lowercase "j", lower on 
#          the baseline and slanting to the left.
#   L    Similar to RGA "l" but more angular---a thin and tall triangle,
#          closed at the bottom and not connected to the neighbors.
#   M    like a large Greek "epsilon" or a "3" on its side, with 
#          first stroke turned inwards, the last slightly outwards.
#   m    with inclined strokes, like "\/\/\".
#   n    with inclined strokes, like "\/\".
#   ø    like an "o" with a circumflex *under* it; or an EVA "l"
#          with very short "legs".
#   )    like a small close parenthesis, extending slightly below
#          the baseline; very much like the variant RGA "o" 
#          (bottom line of Rene's scan)
#   p    has an exaggerated "barb" on the left side of the 
#          stem.
#   r    like a Greek lowercase "nu".
#   û    an "u" or "n" with a macron or overline (which may be noise).
#   ×    an x-like thing, possibly a strikeout.
#   X    Like RGA "x", but with the two strokes ligated on the right.
#   y    similar to RGA "y", but more like a Greek "eta".
#   +    like a math "+", raised so as to stand on the baseline.
#   ^    partially obscured; the bottom part has two "feet"
#            on the baseline, very close together.
#   9    like EVA "y".
#   Z    like EVA "h"

# The "jû" is an "m" rather out of shape.

# The "8" is small and tilted to the right; it may be an EVA "d"

# The final "o" may be a spot, or a vellum defect.
