Thanks I must have glossed over that part
In my opinion it is not correct that "l" is "line" only. My theory is that the truth is on the paper. It is a line with a flick "\c" or as I show "K" (Line>Curve).
I won't waffle with examples, but.. a couple..
A Voynichese webpage search of "il" and "li" quickly shows my general theory, that "it starts as a line but does not also end as a line".
I'll hopefully have something substantial to show soon. I heard someone quote Currier as saying "it doesn't mean anything, but there it is" in regards to these curve and line patterns, and I think I probably agree. I'm not sure it will ever really mean anything, but its there so here I am poking and prodding it to see if it bites.. but you are certainly in no danger of a "I've solved it!" whatever the results

- Lines don't follow "l". Curves do follow "l".
- "ol" and "lo" are as prevalent in the text as "ai" ia", one does not conform, the other is foundational to the system.
- "yoy" shows up zero times though it is conforming (ccc). "lol" shows up 166 times and is non-conforming (\c\).
