Looking at the Jacques' VFQ program, it looks like Sukhotin's algorithm
works like this:

1) reduce all double, triple, etc. letters to single letters.

2) assume the most frequent letter is a vowel.

3) assume the letter which occurs most often in positions NOT adjacent
to a vowel is also a vowel.

4) repeat step 3 until every letter which has not been identified as a
vowel always occurs next to a vowel.

Is this an accurate characterization?
