I did that for every letter and also for every word in the text. (don't know if I published this, but probably I did)
Also I compared it with the many variations that one can perform. The final observations are not different than what we already know: the letters do not behave as normal letters in other European languages. From there I went on and formed new conclusions, which are out of scope.

If Voynichese words are meaningful, it seems that chedy and shedy must have a closely related meaning/function, while qokeedy appears to be quite different. On the other hand, the differences can be largely explained by the general dislike of q-words to follow -in and the opposite preference of bench-words to do so.
Your final conclusion is important, because that is exactly how I looked at the text: if there are "vords" before, after (or inside) the "thing" we are looking at,
and those "vords" or parts (letters or combined letters) behave the same, we can create a map with what I call dependencies. These dependencies are rigid.
Rigid as in semi-absolute: these can occur, where other "parts"/"vords" can not occur on that position.
Based on those dependencies, I created a kind of map of possibilities. If you then compare that with the "normal plain text alphabetical" dependencies, you can see that they indeed seem to behave somewhat normal. I did not move on from that point forward, because the amount of information is too big for me to consume and map.
