Floating gallows

[RenegadeHealer]

inserted either as [tch]/[kch] or [cTh]/[cKh]

pfeaster, as an aside, what are your thoughts on the idea that [tch] and [kch] might be equivalent to [cTh] and [cKh], respectively? I was much taken by You are not allowed to view links.

But this spurred me to play around on Voynichese.com, to see if I could find any relationship between vords containing [cKh]/[cTh], and otherwise identical vords containing [kch]/[tch] in their place. I'm a ham-fisted statistician and I didn't tabulate my results systematically, I'm sorry to say. But I do remember this: discounting Grove words, the benched and unbenched varieties of each vord, as I just defined these, seemed to be roughly equally as likely to occur.

nablator, do you make anything of the mildly astounding statistic that almost exactly half of all tokens contain a gallows, and half don't? I remember discovering this while playing around on Voynichese.com after reading about (and being more than mildly astounded by!) the bimodal distribution of vords by length.
