You know, Nablator? That might be the reason.
But why is it sandwiched in between blocks of cipher? (I'm also wondering why the other versions of Cisiojanis that I've seen have not been broken up like this... maybe I haven't seen enough of them.)
Well, I guess Cisioianis could be sandwiched between blocks of cipher for other reasons, but the fact that the broken-up syllables are in a manuscript that's mostly ciphertext and cutouts gave me the impression that they might be using the syllable/ space obfuscation idea in conjunction with ciphertext.
But counting the syllables is a very practical reason, so perhaps it's as simple as that.
P.S. something I noticed about this version is that it's in dialect (which means maybe they needed to count syllables to make it come out to the right number).
