About Syntax of Voynichese

Before we have detected that words, starting with k,t,p,f belong to the different class of words as the words starting with ch,Sh,cPh,cTh,cPh,cFh,e.

The first words in the paragraph are mostly starting with k,t,p,f.

Here is the distribution of end words of paragraphs according to their beginning letters.

From the statistics we see, that the words, starting with ch,Sh,cPh,cTh,cPh,cFh,e and a group of words starting with d stay more commonly at the end of the sentence.


First Letter	In the text	As last word
o	22.2	17.9
c	18.4	29.2
q	15.1	2.2
s	12.3	9.5
d	9.3	25.2
y	5.0	7.3
a	4.6	1.7
l	3.5	0
k	3.2	3.3
t	2.7	2.2
p	1.5	0
r	1.2	0

So, we can make the following assumption about syntax groups of the words in Voynichese.

Red words (starting with k,t,p,f ) : the sentences starts with them; they accept preffixes qo- and o-.
Blue words (starting with ch,Sh,e) : the sentence often ends with them. They also accept preffixes qo- and o- , but very seldom.
d-words: the sentence often ends with them.
o-words: nouns in the main form, they accept preffix q-
