An attempt at extracting grammar from vord order statistics.
#46
When I was looking at "what follows what" I found that EVA "m" follows the rules of being a letter made up from a "backslash", so like "r" rather than like "s" and "l" rather than like "y", so that is to say it follows a preceding "backslash" or a "curve" followed by "o" to switch/transition/modify the next thing into a backslash. 

Other than the strange double "m" I circle, you can see all the highlighted examples follow this, and if you look at the "r" and "l" elsewhere in a paragraph you will see they follow the same "rules". In my opinion this shows "m" is not something outside the normal voynich word "rules". 

In the first example you can see if we remove "m" and consider it "-" the word becomes "daiycheor" which wouldn't be typical due to the "iy" pairing, if we presume "line start" has something weird going on and remove "y" also we have "daicheor" which also would not be typical due to "ic" pairing, in fact you can remove each letter one at a time and you would have to go all the way to "r" to make "dair" to make something typical. I can't see many example of the others making something valid treating "m" as "-" either. 

I have absolutely no clue why "m" gravitates to the right side of lines though and it does seem like it must be something other than just a letter of the alphabet if we are reading some sort of normal left to right writings of various things, just doesn't feel to me like it joins-on words, or is outside of "what follows what" preferences.

Edit - the circled "m" actually looks like "g" now that I look again.
