[or aiin] - Emma May Smith - 22-11-2016
According to voynichese.com, the word or occurs 366 times and the word aiin occurs 470 times. Simply by chance we should expect multiple instances where the two words occur adjacently. However, the phrase or aiin is much more common than aiin or. This suggests that its occurrence is important in some way.
It could be a set phrase with a single meaning (such as parce que in French). It could also be a sign that one order is grammatical and the other is not.
(Interestingly for my hypothesis that words are transformed at the beginning of lines, a few instances of sor aiin occur.)
Although even two word phrases are not terrifically common, I wonder if any other two words show obvious signs of bias toward one specific order. It could be that we could use them to divide words into groups according to the positions they take in such phrases.
