Was Voynichese meant to be pronounced?
#30
To be more precise, being able to separate vowels and consonants, and being able to pronounce, are not the same. Depending on one's origin, one can pronounce just about anything.

Not many people would be able to comfortably pronounce the dutch words "angstschreeuw" or "koeieuier", and Czech is famous for being able to use "r" and "l" as vowels, leading to various more or less meaningful sentences that do not seem to have any vowels.

The problem with Voynichese is that it isn't really working either way.
Even if Eva is largely pronounceable, there are many words that aren't, at least comfortably. While the opening lines of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (in Cuva, as shown by Marco) seem to be OK, there is already a word ending in -NR that is uncomfortable.

There are also such words as chcthy / chcThy and oeeos / oeeos

The characters / sequences ee and ch seem to be able to replace each other, but the first is usually classified as a vowel (pair) and the second as a consonant.
