The statement that the systematic exact repetition of words could possibly "be related to the unusual letter distribution features" seems quite obscure to me.
Quote:Those who propose that [y] represents a vowel, will need to demonstrate how the very limited inventory of other characters can possibly represent all of the consonant phonemes of a language.
If you believe that Voynichese symbols are too limited to represent the sounds of a language, the problem is there independently on y being a consonant or a vowel. Not a good argument to disregard all evidence about y behaving as a vowel.
