If I Write Like This, There I Also Extreme Initial Positional Rigidity In the Glyphs That I Use. And If I Were To Intro Duce Spa Ces Be Tween Sy La Bels And Write Mor Fo Ne Ti Ca Li It Wud E Ven Be Com Mor So.
What I wrote above only accounts for one aspect of Voynichese's rigidity: a set of glyphs that looks for the beginning of words. Add to that the possibility of proclitics and you can also account for certain standard "prefixes". Example: aWord, theWord, hisWord...
In a language with word endings that can be abbreviated, like Latin, it would also be possible to account for rigidity at the end of words, for example by abbreviation. 9 instead of -us etc.
That leaves one problem: it would imply that Voynichese has a very limited phoneme inventory, and I think it does. Do keep in mind though, that for example what we call EVA "sh" and "ch" could actually be more varied, just like there may be more to "iiin" or "eee" combinations.
