I am curious as to whether the author was writing from top to bottom. It is normal in medieval European manuscripts I think to write words in sequences from left to right, starting at the top and continuing to the bottom. However, this may not be the case in the Voynich. If the manuscript contains real words and filler words it may be that the author wrote the real words in sequence at various locations on the page and then wrote the filler words in the gaps left between the real words.
