[Article] Glyph combinations across word breaks in the Voynich Manuscript
#3
From the paper:

"We would like to suggest that the existence of word break combinations provides some support for the possibility that the Voynich text is written phonetically in a language."

This may support the theory that it was written by a European in a foreign language who decided to create their own phonetic alphabet rather than however the language is typically written. This has always been my favorite theory as to the why the script was created. If true, coupled with the fact that it's written in plain-text, this could eliminate underlying languages that use the Roman alphabet as there would be no need for such phonetic inventions. This could be potentially game changing if confirmed with further evidence.
