Mnemonic text systems almost always depend on converting the VMS glyphs to something that is closer to natural language so it can be more easily remembered. To put it simply: EVA CHANGES Voynichese shapes to be closer to natural language. Many computational attacks assume the vowel-like shapes are vowels.
While one has to be careful doing numerical analysis using Eva transliterations, this argument is not valid, I am afraid.
Transliteration is not about shapes. It is about rendering the handwriting in a computer-readable form.
We simply don't know if e was meant to represent a consonant. Saying that Eva changes it, means that one might assume that it was. We don't even know if it is a complete plain text symbol or phoneme. It could just represent a minim in another script, or a diacritic. We don't know if ee is the same as two e 's and eee is the same as three e 's.
If e is a consonant, these strings are very hard to explain.
(Note that Dutch allows from 1-4 e's in a row, but I am of course not saying that it is Dutch).
Secondly, this particular analysis makes no assumption about whether any symbol is a vowel or a consonant. All are treated equally.
