The most persistent and fundamental pattern is simple consonant/vowel. Ultimately, any consonant or any vowel can fill the slots. So, like Coon's model, everything is optional. Rather, the template only indicates likelihoods. It is likely that the glyph that fills the first consonant slot in compartment A, if it is filled, will be either [q] or [d]. Other consonants are possible, but unlikely. There are probabilities, not adamantine rules.
So each vertical column in the template is really a ranking by probability. Nothing is forbidden, just unlikely or uncommon. There are preferred vowels in certain places, but we always find exceptions, so any vowel is possible in a vowel slot. The double vowel [ai] sometimes appears in the vowel slot of compartment B.
Similarly, consonant forms are quite fluid. Consonant forms with [ch] or [sh] are possible in all three compartments (marked in red in my template.) Often benched gallows [cFh etc.] occur here. The question in each case is: how has the consonant slot been filled if at all?
A deviation from the CV pattern is in the first compartment where the VC form ol- and some variations are found. The variations seem to concern the consonants [l] and [r] as options. Since it doesn't conform it is hard to depict consistently. I've placed the VC prefixes in the vowel column of compartment A so as to be hard against the boundary of compartment B. but in fact the prefix is VC contrary to the norm. (It would improve the model if I could find a clearer way to depict this complication.)
The purpose of the tool isn't to verify or deny (sift) vords like the sieve of Ersatosthenes. In fact, it is best used on non-conforming cases where what we witness is the improbable and unusual placement of glyphs within the basic pattern. Because it depicts usual things, we can place the template over the text and it will underline places where unusual things are happening.
To clarify, every column can be empty. The consonant in compartment B is empty in DOARO, parsed:
