Register or Login to view.) only demonstrates that a word doesn't depend on the previous word. Unfortunately this observation alone is not enough to allow the conclusion "that words are output randomly". It is also possible that a word depends on his position within a line, that a word depends on a word in the previous line or that a part of a word depends on a part of the previous word. For the VMS it is possible to give examples for each of them: Words ending with [m] are most likely found as last word of a line. There is an increased chance that you can find the same word in the next line in the same position (see the word [daiin] on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). Last but not least there is also an increased chance that a word ending with [y] is followed by a word starting with [q].I proposed an additional mechanism for deciding the beginning of paragraphs, and the same could apply for the ends of lines.
I'd be very wary of making observations based on small details. I'd also point out that words in the text are not just random, they are very random (variance = mean squared), so higher-than-chance occurrences of *some things* are very likely.
Re daiin, very similar patterns appear in my 21st Century Voynich Manuscript, and that is random (but with a variance lower than the real manuscript).
