Also Bavarian should have some kind of der/die/das word like standard German, am I right?
Unfortunately we don't have good candidates for such words.

And remember that 50% of Voynichese words end with "9". You won't find any similar letter in Bavarian, I believe.

For words that begin with consonait sounds, these are also known as consonant blends (two letters that make one sound: e.g., black, slack, clown). The initial consonant blend (or two letters) is moved to the end of the word, then "ay" is added, as in the following examples:
  • "pig" = "igpay"
  • "latin" = "atinlay"
  • "banana" = "ananabay"
  • "black" = "ackblay"
