If the hypothesis that the Voynich has (somehow) managed to preserve much of the formatting in the source document(s) it was derived from is correct, then it would be a reasonable prediction that the right hand edge in the source document was also straight.
In which case one might reason that the source document probably used hyphens, something that the EVA -m line-terminal groups also suggest.
