To continue through the logic :
If it is q+? in the majority of cases, then we are looking at a bigraph such as is common in English (qu).
In which case, Voynich ese is syllabic and can be pronounced.
(this is only not true in the case that unigrams are being mapped to bigrams. Which makes no sense unless we are looking at an expansion cipher; in which case the bigrams must always map back to the same letter).
What is needed now is some statistics to see just how common q+? Actually is and what maps to?
