Engineering your own voynich

[Emma May Smith]

I may not finish this tonight, but the way I would move forward is:

• Find some consistent way to break words into two segments. "Ka" is the first clue to doing this.
  
• Count how many unique first and last segments there are. Many more than 26 and the cipher could be encoding phonemes. Fewer and it is encoding letters.
  
• Do a frequency count on each segment. This should give you a clue as to which letters each segment might stand for.
  
• Try to find adjacent segments which could represent digraphs or repeated letters. Work out from there.
  

Of course, I could be totally wrong, but this is my guess and it seems reasonable, even if wrong.
