I think that this is a very important piece of information. One or two years ago, I was reading a discussion of Mandarin vs. Czech syllable structure and as expected the difference was vast.
The Czech syllable structure was quoted as:
© © © © (V/VV/C) © © ©
where any of the ©-only groups could be empty.
Similar structures can easily be found online for other (modern) Indo-European languages.
This is not sufficient information for the Voynich problem of course, since it says nothing about 'which' consonants
are more or less likely to appear in which position.
It will be hard to match any of these structures to the Voynich word structure, but this is a purely qualitative statement,
and it should be of great interest to see someone going into this more deeply.
Edit: don't know how to make the © appear as ( C )
