I deliberately avoided the Pharma pages. Basically, because I didn't want the stats to get tangled with label behaviour, I specifically focused on Herbal-A pages.
The next thing to search for would be other bigraphs / trigraphs that occur noticeably more often in span-terminal (i.e. "immediately before an interruption or at the end of a line") positions than in non-span-terminal positions in Herbal-A pages, in the same way that chd seems to do. I've tried a fair few manually without luck, but perhaps cunning scripts will succeed where the eye fails. :-)
Alternatively, it may be revealing to use the same cunning script to try to find bigraphs / trigraphs that occur noticeably less often in span-terminal posiitions. This may reveal parts of Voynichese's writing system that get abbreviated in ways that are perhaps not as directly visible as the (putative) chod--chd contraction.
