And maybe the "circles" a, o, y function as modifiers of other letters, too.

This is quite along the lines of a draft word model that was used in my 'Voynich music' paper:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

The complete model is still not published, even though I thought that could happen in 2024....
