What I pointed out is that you seldom get a Voynich word which ends in a gallows character or, what amounts to the same thing, a gallows character followed by a space. The few cases where it happens tend to occur rather more than half way across the first line of a page. I have statistics somewhere, based on the Takehashi transcription.
I am not committed to the idea that such gallows end a key sequence though it is a plausible suggestion (also the term 'Neal keys' was not coined by me). What I do think is that these gallows are evidence that the text displays a kind of periodicity above the level of individual words.
