Yeah, I guess I should have been more clear. The way I understood your post is that apart from LAAFU stuff, Voynichese positional rigidity can be compared to English -ing. I just don't think that's true. Even omitting the admittedly more bizarre LAAFU shenanigans, Voynichese is still absurdly rigid.
(Also, the system is a black box to us so whether or not something is a suffix doesn't matter. In Voynichese, we don't see the difference between the ing in starling and that in gnarling.
