pre-sound mutation in Voynich

Are you sure that you can see 'pre-sound mutation' in the manuscript?

I myself once had the same idea. I suspected, for instance, that words beginning  qo- were just words beginning  o- that required to be prefixed with  q to be made consistent with some grammatical rule for eclipsis or mutation. I spent some time generating affinities between characters and character pairs bridging adjacent words. Searched for occurences where the characters at the start of a word were dependent on the characters at the end of the preceeding word. But I eventually concluded that this was not happening. Concluded that there is nothing in the text of the manuscript that suggested any hint of similarity to Welsh mutation or Gaelic eclipsis and aspiration.
