[Blog Post] Ruminations on the Voynich Manuscript

[pfeaster]

Some researcher, I can't recall who, had a blog post comparing the statistical occurrence of both vords and the glyphs comprising them, in line-initial, line-final, mid-line, and label positions. The statistical patterns strongly supported the idea that these are four distinct populations of data, each with its own unique set of preferences and disinclinations that's not much like any of the other three. 

I'm not sure whether it's what you have in mind, but I made an argument something like this in section four of the "Ruminations" post to which Emma linked, including a comparative chart of beginning and ending glyphs:

In the same place, I also compared the most frequent label vords with the most frequent vords in "internal" line positions within paragraphs, which drew out some additional contrasts (e.g., when common label vords end in certain ways, they tend also to be well-attested as line-internal vords, whereas when they end in other ways they tend not to be).

It would be interesting to see the results of the experiment you describe!
