Was Voynichese meant to be pronounced?

Thanks for your very clear explanation Marco, and for taking the effort of running these experiments. I agree that the results for Italian are very clear, and that Voynichese appears to behave differently.

I wonder what would happen if you ran the test with spaces removed from the texts? Sojustonelongwordlikethis? I can't even predict whether this would impact the Italian results or not. You'd get some unusual sequences where word-final vowels meet word-initial vowels for example. For Voynichese it should shake things up somewhat, but there would still be predictable patterns.
