Here is another possible development of this vord paradigm.
The paradigm vord QOKEEDY is unsatifactory at both ends. A high proportion of vords end in a consonant and a good proportion begin with a vowel.
I propose, therefore, not merely QOKEEDY but a cycle of four variations on that vord. The variations are:
qokeedy
qokaiin
olkaiin
olkeedy
The consonants and vowels go like this:
A: CV CV CV
B: CV CV VC
C: VC CV VC
D: VC CV CV
The full cycle goes:
CV CV CV CV CV VC VC CV VC VC CV CV
A sequence of twelve syllables.
The sequence is continuous because:
Qokeedy – qokaain = the word break is [y.k]
Qokaiin – olkaiin = the word break is [n.o]
Olkaiin – Olkeedy = the word break is [n.o]
Thus: qokeedy.qokaiin.olkaiin.olkeedy. And so on. The line of least resistance.
This allows four models for parsing, with every Voynich vord conforming as nearly as possible to one of the four. QOKEEDY (and a cycle of its variations) is the paradigm.
Nabbing some vords at random, we find:
QOKEEDY
qopchy
sheedy
opchdy
shotchey
otedy
QOKAIIN
shosaiin
ytaiin
chodar
tchar
opal
shokal
cheedar
OLKAIIN
lkaiin
olkeees
olcham
chtaiin
OLKEEDY
lkchedy
olky
lkeeeody
arshey
alkedy
PROBLEMATIC
tolos
okaral
pokar
kedshedy
alodar
Once again, the problematic ones are the vords of interest.
