A few thoughts after a quick review:
1) he distinguishes six, rather than four, gallows, distinguishing the variants of EVA-p and EVA-f in which the cross-stroke ends with a slight curl. Linguists: what do you make of that, in terms of frequency and word-position?
2) he then interprets bench-gallows as the Hebrew letters that take on a hard vocalization when a dot is added.
3) he mentions the directional problem only in a footnote without truly addressing why Voynichese, if it represents phonemic Hebrew, is written from left to right.
4) he identifies EVA-o at the beginning of a word as they Hebrew prefix "ha", which means "the." Presumably, then, any word that begins with EVA-o is a noun. To the linguists out there...any thoughts on that interpretation?
5) not clear what he does with plain benches...
