A Full Inventory of Glyphs

 There are several minor or secondary glyphs in the Voynich text of which I have so far given no account. 

I have only referred to them as the COUNTER CYCLE in my model of text-as-year. 

The glyphs in question are: [s], [r], [m] and [g]. 

[s] and [r] are common. [m] and [g] are more rare. 

They fit into my account in this way:

ALL of them belong to the CHOLDAIIN paradigm, or are variants of CHOLDAIIN. 

And specifically they are variants of the first and last glyph of CHOLDAIIN, [ch] and [n]. 

This is the in-built distinction between c-curves and backslashes, often observed as a habit of the text. 

[s] is a variant of [ch]

[r] is a variant of [n]

Similarly, [g] is a variant of [ch] and [m] of [n]. 

Thus:

They continue the inherent curve/line duality of CHOLDAIIN.

But they belong to a cycle - or counter-cycle - that comes after CHOLDAIIN in the unfolding of the text. They are from a subsequent strata.

This allows us to provide a full inventory of the Voynich glyphs, attributing them to the two templates, QOKEEDY and CHOLDAIIN. To go through them:

[q] - exclusive to QOKEEDY.

[e] - exclusive to QOKEEDY.

[k] - exclusive to QOKEEDY.

[y] - exclusive to QOKEEDY.

[ch] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[l] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[a] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[i] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[n] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

Only [o] and [d] are shared.

By extension:

All gallows glyphs belong to QOKEEDY.

All benches belong to CHOLDAIIN.

Benched gallows are the [ch] of CHOLDAIIN combined with the gallows of QOKEEDY. 

The curve/line distinction is inherent to CHOL + DAIIN and the glyphs based on that distinction belong to the CHOLDAIIN paradigm. 

[sh] is a variant of [ch] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[s] is a variant of [ch] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[r] is a variant of [n] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[m] is a variant of [n] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

[g] is a variant of [ch] - exclusive to CHOLDAIIN.

This gives a full account of the entire glyph set, leaving aside the very rare ones such as [x]. 

Once again we notice that the QOKEEDY paradigm adheres. The CHOLDAIIN paradigm is mutable. 

For the most part, the subsiduary glyphs are the result of CHOLDAIIN breaking apart and mutating into variants because of an intervening counter-cycle. 

The counter-cycle does not impact upon QOKEEDY. It is a development from the CHOLDAIIN paradigm. It is the CHOLDAIIN paradigm that has a counter-cycle that is marked by the secondary glyphs (sporting an elevated leftwards turning plume.) 

In any case, we can divide the glyph set into two distinct sub-sets:

Assuredly, there are minor scribal variations of all the glyphs throughout the text which may or may not be significant, but there is a core glyph set, a core design, and the glyphs belong to one of two templates (or cycles).
