Number of syllables distribution

[ReneZ]

Well, given that for two representative known plain texts, one in Latin and one in middle Dutch, the syllable count is quite different, there is a rather wide range of syllable counts that could be considered 'normal'.

We don't know what are the vowels in Voynichese, but it is clear that we can choose them such that the resulting syllable count is within this normal range. In fact, different definitions lead to quite different distributions.

From what I read, Emma did not choose her vowels/consonants in order to achieve a 'normal' syllable count, but the process in this thread seems to have involved some tuning, thereby ending up close to Latin.
