Description
The current ZL release, in IVTFF 2.0 format with extended EVA.
Purpose
A defensible default for general EVA-based analysis.
Recommended uses
General analysis in EVA; the primary input for most current research.
Cautions
Locus and character counts are the upstream figures (Table 9 of voynich.nu/transcr.html; characters counted in the STA1 alphabet).
Changes from the previous release
Relative to 2b the text is unchanged apart from the fRos locus 36 correction made in 3a, and the file now conforms to IVTFF 2.0 (upstream note 25). The Depot counts 4 fewer loci than 2b (f1r 31 to 28, f89v2 28 to 27).

Source notes
- 2026-09-27 — Release 3a is described in the upstream notes (same text as 2b except that an invalid use of '*' for an unreadable character in fRos locus 36 was corrected), but no 3a file is offered for download. The Depot registers 2b and 3b, the two downloadable files, and records 3a here rather than inventing a file for it. source
