A link to the thread about Thomas Coon's system.

The system described here is partly similar to Emma's You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., though hers is clearer and likely much more effective.
Something I find particularly puzzling is that here 'ar' is regarded as a vowel, while 'a' is labelled as a vowel and 'r' as a consonant.
The "doaro" example also appears to contradict the first sentence in the quote above: if a word conforms even if the second syllable has no consonant, does this mean that all consonants are optional? Are vowels optional as well? If I understand correctly, in the case of Coon's system, everything was optional. This leads to accepting a large number of non-Voynichese words (e.g. 'aeea', 'yyy','eeeee'). The usefulness of word models depends on both the number of actual Voynichese words that are accepted and the number of non-Voynichese words that are rejected.
The occurrence of 'ch' in the third position is also weird: other models typically allow a maximum of two benches, one before and one after a gallows, if present (but I see that this is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., who also has this bizarre triple 'ch').

Here is a star label from pg 68r: DOARO

We see it conforms and is parsed: do - a - ro.
