About word length distribution

[MarcoP]

VM word length famously follows binomial distribution of f(n, 9, 0.5) + 1

The details of the binomial distribution of course depend on the transliteration system. We don't know what makes a Voynich character (EVA:a, iin, aiin?). They also depend on how the many uncertain spaces are treated.

Stolfi observed that there are natural languages whose word length follows a binomial distribution.

Gaskell and Bowern found that spontaneous written gibberish can have a word length distribution with low skewness.
