Hi Thorsten,
I have not read Kevin Farrugia’s article yet, but I found the same criteria to distinguish between scribe 1 and scribe 2/3. To understand the whole concept you would have to read my article “The Voynich Cipher Disk” , here just the explanation for the the trigram 'edy' and the bigram 'ed'.
Words starting with _oX and _4oX (X= K,T,P or F) are built out of a group of only 34 tokens on the outer Cipher disk. All tokens that end with ‘e’ ( also ‘ch’ ‘ sh’) require a termination with ‘dy’ or ‘d’, if the word is not continued with another tokens. This termination is inserted by the scribes choice and has no meaning (null). It is only there to hide the fact that ‘e ch sh’ are not part of the green finals (normal endings). I named them placeholder in my article and colored them grey. There are other examples like final ‘a_’ or ‘m_’ that give the scribe a choice without changing the meaning of the encoded text.
