About the construction of lines in the MS

[Fontanellean]

Line breaks in the Voynich seem to follow two constraints at the same time. Lines tend to fill the available space, but they also tend to end with certain types of word patterns and start with other types of patterns. The model is picking up both things.

This is not typical of ordinary prose, where line breaks are mostly arbitrary. It suggests that the text was produced with local structural preferences, not just written and then wrapped to fit the page.

That does not tell us exactly how the text was generated. It could be stylistic, procedural, or something else. But it does suggest that line breaks are part of the structure, not just a formatting afterthought.

Perhaps it suggests that the meaningful content is in the central part of each line, with filler words added at the beginning and end.
