Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript

2. No words start with the sounds /h/, /j/, /m/, /n/, /v/, /ğ/.

Let's not forget /k/. Can you name a "Turkish" language / dialect that has no word starting with /k/, /m/, nor /n/ ?

Dear Nablator,

In dialects where there are no words starting with the K sound, this sound can usually be replaced by the G sound and sometimes the X sound. In addition, in today's modern Turkish language, some of the words starting with M and N sounds are a small number of loan words that have passed into Turkish from other languages, or because the vowel in front of them has dropped over time, today they appear as the first letter (with the old second letter remaining at the beginning). But as I said, we are talking about old Turkish, not modern Turkish. Of course, very few exceptional words (as loanwords in other languages) may appear in these texts, but this does not change the general structure.

Although few in number, exceptions can be seen both in today's Turkish language and in Old Turkish writings and VM texts.
A small number of words that can be considered as exceptions that disrupt this structure may be words taken from other languages such as Arabic and Persian.
In addition, we take into account that as dialects expand and the sound values of words change over time, the use of some initial sounds in the language may decrease and the phonetic structure of the word may be changed so that the second sound replaces the lost one. In fact, this structure in Turkish is a familiar structure that has been fully defined by linguists through many different examples.
