According to voynichese, there are 1105 matches with the letter m in them, 778 are line ends.
For a strong *m search, there are 1092 matches, 768 are line-ends.
It's a similar story with *g with 62/80 line ends and for just g, 71/96 are line ends. -

It seems to work more in Currier B as a line end, also but that's just a quick observation. -

These are great observations, Alex! You should add them to the Objective Statistics - maybe they're a piece of the Voynich Puzzle

Perhaps a list of frequencies of all characters might be helpful.

Are there any theories that m and g are simply variants of r/s/l? (Like the gallow characters) -

Lisa's scribe 3 uses them twice as often as the other scribes, and is also the most consistent with initialing paragraphs with gallows. They're responsible for the very text-dense final section of the manuscript. I'd say it represents "periods" to end sentences. -

Not quite. The frequencies by hand and cluster for words ending in m are given below. Hand 3 liked to use m in writing the stars A3 pages ( f58r, f58v ). Bio ( quire 13 ) doesn't use it much. There aren't enough words ending with g to form any significant conclusion for that character.
