VMs: Syntax of Voynichese

It is clear that h-,t-,p-,f- words stays on the beginning of the sentence.
We see also that the distribution on the end of the sentence is very special, the words starting with ch- and d- have clear preference against their probability.
Therefore we can define groups of words according their morfology and syntax role in the sentence.

What do we have in the beginning:
(1) A "nouns" as o-words producing the labels
(2) "Hard core words" having roots starting with k-,t-,f-,p- and acceptong
o- and qo- prefixes very often
(3) Words staying in the beginning of the paragraph (mostly Hard-core) 
(4) "Mantel words" having roots starting with ch-,sh-,e-, cth, cph, cfh, cph- 
and accepting o- and qo- prefixes, but seldom
    

Another info about o- and qo-:

I found that if we strip qo- and o- prefix away from Voynichese words, the
word stems can be statistically grouped into two very distinct groups. 
One of that groups (`red' group I call) characterizes the language B.

Please check out the following:

I'm not sure that these groups correlates with "Hard core" and "Mantle" words,
but I'll check it when I have some time.
