Might do.  We don't know.  If we knew the real/intended structure of 
Voynichese we could make sure we only study well-formed concepts, but 
seeing that we don't we are always reduced to just looking for/at 
patterns and this may result in us studying malformed concepts.  But
that shouldn't stop us looking.

It might be.  I didn't claim that it was conceptually justified to break 
"dy" away from the end of words and just study that in isolation.  But
then I'm not studying that pair in isolation.  It was just an example.

I'm studying the relationship *in general* between word endings and the 
following word beginnings in the EVA transcription, and this necessarily 
involves arbitrary splitting of words.   But whether it is misleading to
break words up into EVA substrings or not, there is a connection.
