Exceptional Voynich Symbols

Because the bifolia are almost certainly misbound in their present sequence, analyzing glyphs and combinations based on where they currently appear in the manuscript isn't going to tell us anything useful. 1r was PROBABLY the original first leaf and 116v was PROBABLY the original final leaf, but other than that, it's really hard to determine the original sequence. It seems LIKELY that Currier A/Scribe 1 bifolia originally formed a group of several quires while Currier B/Scribe 2 herbal did as well. But even there, we don't know the original order of Currier A bifolia or Currier B herbal bifolia, or even which came first in the manuscript. So I don't think that looking at how glyph patterns evolve over the course of the manuscript in its current form is a useful analysis.
