Vord paradigm tool

[Hermes777]

This prefix-stem-suffix system has been proposed for several decades, if I remember correctly, but has it allowed any progress?

It is true, Ruby. Over the decades various researchers, independently of each other and from various lines of attack, have concluded that Voynich words have a tripartite structure and they have proposed three-part models. 

The model I am using is based on the default vord QOKEEDY and the simple breakdown qo- kee - dy, with the further observation that each component is the form consonant/vowel. I take that as the basic pattern of a vord, as simple as it is: CV - CV - CV. 

Has it allowed any progress? No more than anything else, perhaps. I see it as a useful tool. In the first instance, the Voynich text is just a field of glyphs and spaces. But it has patterns and weaves. A vord template, even if only approximate, helps us identify and study some important patterns and weaves. 

I am aware, though, that the structures we observe within vords may be part of larger patterns and that just the category "vord" may be a distorting limitation. 

One of the things revealed by a template like this is the great care taken in the construction of vord endings. It is tempting to think they reflect systems of grammatical mutation.
