@livedandletdie The Voynich manuscript has not been translated, in part or in whole.

Are there Belphegor-esque primes of the form 9(n zeroes)616(n zeroes)9? Maybe we were just going about it wrong.

I noticed that the Wikipedia article also cites the claim that having letters with grammatical function at the end of words (like s in English) never appear in the middle of words is unheard-of. But that's clearly nonsense, since as you pointed out, s itself would never appear in that form in the middle of a word in many English documents. I mean, in other documents it might, but there is only one Voynich manuscript. It's a weird thing to say.

@lonestarr1490 Nice! It has 616 in the middle rather than 666, the alternate number of the beast. Instead of being 31 digits long (13 reversed), it has digital sum 31. And instead of 13 zeroes on either side with ones on the ends, it has 18 with nines, and 1 + 8 = 9. I guess it's Belphegor's Other Prime.
