Detail notes on the provisional system of phoneme values for characters here:
[t] can be /k/ or /g/
[s] and [sh] are /t/ This is very logical for Greek since the common single-character word [s] could be the definite article forms "to", "tou", ta", abbreviated as "t' ".
[y] is /s/
...
y is virtually always at the beginnings or ends of tokens (or standalone).
If you assign phonemes to Voynich glyphs, you would have to account for why a letter as common as "s" (if represented by y) is found only at the beginnings and ends. In other words, you have to resolve the issue of spaces between tokens and even if the spaces are taken with a grain of salt, the positionality of y is still highly significant (and not distributed within words as they are in Greek).
