Voynichese Phonotactics

Oops, I made a similar thread while you were making this one - let's see if I can remove it Smile

Edit: okay, it's gone.

One thing I personally believe is lacking in many proposed solutions is the fact that the distribution of gallows is ignored by assigning to them a sound that is common in the end of syllables. Gallows are relatively rare at the end of longer Voynichese words, and the total of words ending in T or K is just a little over a hundred.

I am sure that similar observations can be made about other glyphs, such as 4 and 9. Assigning to these, and gallows, a one-to-one value puts some serious constraints on the way syllables can be constructed in the proposed language, which is something that is almost never taken into account.
