After digesting this thread and doing some searches myself on Voynichese.com, I think we have enough evidence to say that the digraphs [ch], [sh], [ee], [se], [es], [c*h], and [e*e] belong classed together, in terms of their observed behavior / occurrence. I don't think we have enough evidence to conclude definitively that any of these are completely equivalent to each other, let alone speculate on what any of them mean symbolically, if anything. But it's clear enough to me that every vord has between 0 and 6 "c-curves" in a row, and that this can be seen as a fundamental property of a vord. These c-curves, along with an optional gallows or [d], form the core of a vord, and have a semi-complicated set of rules about how they're connected in pairs to each other with crossbars.
If the VMS is a conlang or some similar kind of symbolic classification system, the number of c-curves could be one of the values that each vord encodes, and could give us some clues as to what kind of information the system is designed to record. Or, if the VMS is meaningless and its vords artificially generated, this could mean that one of the dice rolled or one of the volvelles spun determines the number of c-curves.
