[Blog Post] Scribes of the Voynich Manuscript

Regarding the position of qo, why is that a problem? Why can't it be an initial form of another letter? 
Much as aiin could somewhat plausibly be a final form of a.

The reason why qo is a problem is that qo should be read as po. Slovenian language does not use letter Q. PO is one of the most frequently used Slovenian prefixes, meaning complete action. It can be prefixed to nouns, verbs, adjectives. The alternative prefix that could be used with the same root words is O, which is often found in the VM. Besides a prefix, PO can also be a part of the word, such as POT (path, road), also frequently used in the VM, as well as POJ (POY) - sing, POL - half. PO is also Slovenian preposition, meaning 'on', 'at', by'. 
This accounts for such high frequency of the PO words in the VM.
