JKP has a blog post about this. The lack of q on f1r, and the first and only occurrence on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. being the detached, line-initial word qô with a diacritic (exactly like the way quarto, quaternario, and other words starting with qu- and ending with -o were often abbreviated) is possibly a valuable clue to how and why the Voynichese writing system was designed. This could be a clue as to what changes the writer saw necessary to make, for the writing system to serve its intended purpose, and therefore in turn, what that intended purpose might have been.
Other than lengthy discussions about the shift from Currier A to Currier B, and the occasional discussion of EVA=x, I wonder if anyone has explored whether certain glyphs and ngrams' occurrences are late and slow before becoming common, or conversely, start off as common in the early folios, but then peter out well before the end of that hand and Currier language.
