Thanks Rob! Taking a quick look at your list, I note the curiosity of the following stretches of the ms where the property does not seem to apply:
f4-f7
f11-f15
f19-f24
Thus, after the first 3 folios, for the rest of "pure Herbal A" in Hand 1, before Currier B and Hand 2 have entered the scene with folio 26, we have a stretch of 20 folios (f12 is missing) and 40 pages, among which only 6 of the pages have this property, most of them clustered in f16-f18. I wonder what significance this observation may possibly have.
[Oh I almost forgot, I must be sure to note here for the historical record that "the discovery of this observation was only possible as a result of Torsten Timm's publication of 'A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript'." I would not want to be accused of neglecting to explicitly state for posterity this vital fact in the record of scholarly research on the Voynich manuscript. There, now my conscience is clear.]
