The incredible unravelling of the Voynich Manuscript

[Torsten]

Has anyone checked the statistics of endings in the VMs after replacing the final “y”? How much will this change?

40 % of the word-tokens end with [-y] (15409 out of 37919 tokens). The most common word types ending in [-y] are [chedy]/[shedy], [chey]/[shey], [chy]/[shy], and [qoky]/[oky]/[qoty]/[oty]. Therefore it is no surprise that the most common glyphs before the final-[y] are [d], [e], [ch], and [k].

There are 17655 words containing EVA-[y]. The glyphs before [-y-] are
in 6850 cases [d] (38.8 %)
in 4034 cases [e] (22.8 %)
in 2329 cases [h] (13.2 %)
in 1360 cases a gallow glyph (7.7 %).
