Again, while I do not believe that it is relevant for the Voynich MS, this is not correct. At least the syllable structure of Mandarin Chinese, which is tabulated here:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
is in fact simpler and more rigid than that of Voynichese (compare with Stolfi's "word grammar").
It is not possible to set up such a simple table for Voynichese.
(It is to be noted that the tones are not indicated in the wikipedia table, allowing for one more degree of freedom. I am not aware of any restrictions on possible tones per syllable.)
