I think I finally figured out Voynich ms text word structure, or at least one key piece of it.
I was curious about all three of my Middle English words in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. text, "fob sib isib", ending in the letter "b". And I had this crazy idea that they all look like they could possibly also spell Middle English words if they were read backwards!
Indeed my hunch was proven correct:
ME bof, alt. sp. of bef - "beef"

So here's the key to Voynich ms text word structure: Every word in it can spell a Middle English word both when read forwards and when read backwards!!
This also leads to my hypothesis about the function of the character EVA [y]: It serves as a "wild card" letter or character, which can be read as any letter or no letter at all, in order to facilitate the spelling of more words that can be read as Middle English words both forwards and backwards!
Finally, here is the motivation for this whole word structure design, in line with the "Yorkist" theme I have advanced in recent posts:
With the "wild card" letter/character at the end, the same word can be read "YORK" forwards and "#ROY" = "King" backwards!!
Indeed in the middle ring of words of the very page You are not allowed to view links.

Now if we make one small adjustment to my provisional Middle English letter correspondence system, to allow EVA [o] to represent Middle English "o" as well as "ou"/"u", then this word [chory] spells "YOR#" = "YORK" when read forwards, and "#ROY" = "King" when read backwards!!
