Syllabification

[Emma May Smith]

I'm currently looking at working to break up the Voynich words into syllables (yes, I believe in a linguistic solution) and I wonder what methods have been tried previously, and by whom, to achieve this.

I only know of Stolfi's work, where he considers each word a syllables in itself, but what others are out there?

If it's an abjad (as with several ancient Mediterranean languages) or a partial abjad (as with some Slavic words), then every two or three glyphs might be one or sometimes even two syllables.

In such languages, do the characters show a significant ordering? I'm curious how we could make an abjad work without the text becoming repetitive. Maybe this is the word order which is missing?
