Dear Ms. Smith,
 
Since I believe the VMS words are not text words, except in very rare instances, but rather compilations of one or more codes, I do not think there need to be vowels or consonants in the words as in most languages. As you may already know, I tend to agree with many 'experts' from Captain Currier down to the present that the VMS text does not resemble any known language in its makeup or use.
 
In my glyph/sound alphabet at my fumblydiddles.com site, I show tentative ID's for about forty glyphs. I think there about that many more that are one-time appearance glyphs or very. very rare glyphs used less than 5 or 6 times.
 
I think the longest string of c glyphs in any code is two (cc) - in Group I and in Group III. Longer strings show the presence of more than one code group. In some cases, two consecutive c glyphs may be indicative of the presence of two code groups or parts of code groups. They are sounded as 'l' and 'll', which I think are linguistically separate sounds, or were so considered by the author of the VMS.
 
I think in glyph has the sound of 'æ'. If found at the end of a VMS word, it is a visual mnemonic for the 'm' sound, as in 'minim', and is sounded 'm'. (Likewise, a '9' glyph is normally sounded as 'h' but at the end of a VMS word, it's sounded as 'g' and is a visual mnemonic for 'g', as in grain.)
 
The word eh1cc9 would be sounded t-e-s-l-l-h, or, actually, t-e-s-l-l-g. I don't think this is a VMS word nor could it normally be a word in the scheme I propose (unless t-e-s or t-e-s-l-l turn out to be new Group I code attributions).
 
I think o, a and 9 glyphs are sounded as 'r', 'm' and ''h', except when the 9 glyph is found at the right end of a Voynich word and is a mnemonic (as shown above).
 
I have shown in my deconstructions of the almost 2,400 words repeated two or more times in the VMS that all but twelve follow a strict scheme and sequence using a large number of Group I codes which are modified by only a total of 55 other codes in 5 other sequentially applied groups/tables. This is not something that can be done with any language that I have heard of. Possibly I am wrong. If so, I hope you can show me the error of my ideas, methods, work or results. I know it sounds improbable, but anyone checking my work will see the words really can be deconstructed as I say.
 
I think I have shown that the words are not formed in any normal way, nor in the way they would be in any artificial language I have heard about.
 
Others may ignore the results of my deconstruction scheme, be ignorant of the results or just flat refuse to consider them as important and/or pertinent. But they ARE real. I think those results need to be considered by anyone seriously trying to figure out a solution to the VMS secrets.
 
Those results sure do make it hard for anyone trying to construct an alternate scheme that also gives such consistent results, don't you think?
 
This is about the deconstruction scheme, sequence, methods and groups of codes and the proposed glyph/sound alphabet. The deconstruction ideas and results are fact. The alphabet is only a proposed group of sounds and meanings.
 
Thank you.
