[Blog Post] Scribes of the Voynich Manuscript

Even syllabic languages have more leeway to use syllables in various positions in a word

Syllabic languages can be strictly mono-syllabic (like Mandarin Chinese) or mostly mono-syllabic (like Thai).
Words (concepts) can still consists of more than one syllable.
In Chinese, "tomorrow" is two syllables that can be transliterated as Ming Tian. The two syllables have their own meaning, the second meaning (a.o.) "day".
In Thai "to understand" is two syllables that can be transliterated as Kao Jai. These two syllables are also words that mean: "Enter" and "heart".

In both cases, there are characters (Thai) or sounds (Chinese) that can only appear at the start of at the end of syllables.

It is rather unlikely that this is relevant for the Voynich MS text, but these positional rules do exist.
