Take an instruction manual with one page written in British English and another in Pinyin for Mandarin. "Z" will hardly appear at all on the former but will be all over the place in the latter.
But then the same would happen with X and Y and n-grams like IAO and EONG and generally many characters or bigrams would prefer either English or Mandarin. The peculiar thing about ed is that it is the only bigram that clearly shows this behavior in the Voynich MS, as far as I understand.
