The real problem is that y is the second most frequent character in the Voynich MS text, with approximately 17,850 occurences out of a total of approximately 160,000 characters. This second figure is much less accurate.
In any case, it is more than 1 out of 10.
Anyone show me a Latin text that has so many occurrences of 'us', or 'con', or the two combined.
This is a specific example of the more general statement that translating the Voynich MS by expansion of the existing text cannot work.
