A concordance for the VMS is available here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I have studied what all quires have in common. One result was that all word types in the VMS belong to a single network:

The existence of a single network allows the conclusion that the whole Voynich text is the result of a single system.

"It seems that the existence of a single network for all word types in the VMS would contradict Currier's observation that it is possible to clearly distinguish between two different languages, A and B. ... Now, reordering the sections with respect to the frequency of token <chedy> replaces the seemingly irregular mixture of two separate languages by the gradual evolution of a single system from 'state A' to 'state B'." [Timm & Schinner 2019, p. 6] This result indicates a 'continuous evolution' from 'state A' to 'state B', rather than the existence of two clearly distinguishable languages.
