I grabbed these common words (transliterated) very quickly and they are technically not alphabetic, I rough-ordered them to make it easier for English readers to glance through them.

Chinese is syllabic, so it's not typical to find vowels at the beginning of words, but even with this significant restriction, look how much variety there is at the beginning of words and how the other letters move around within words much more than glyphs in the VMS. Also, like English and other European languages, you don't see three or four of the same letters in a row as one sees glyphs in the VMS.
In the VMS, there are about 15 or 16 glyphs typically found at the beginnings of tokens (the number depends on how much weight you want to give rare and extremely rare glyphs).
P.S. To moderators... do we have a thread for positionality in VMS glyphs? I can't remember.
