Quick question, has anyone ever attempted to count the number of "syllables" in Voynichese "words" and compare them to those in other languages?
For example, 10% one syllable, 30% two syllable etc.
I know we don't know for certain whether there are vowels and syllables like there would be in Latin. But various people have identified glyphs that are likely to be vowels. So if you build on that assumption, what would the result be?
(I vaguely remember that something like this has been discussed, but since we talk a lot about syllables the search function resulted in an overload).
