The Voynich manuscript's lk- family appears in 82.6% of Stars_Text tokens and 0.5% of Astronomical. More vowels = more exclusive = higher specification certainty. χ² = 540, p < 10⁻¹¹⁵.
The Stars_Text section (f103–f116) is the final section of the Voynich manuscript. No illustrations. Dense prose. 10,582 tokens. The void framework assigns it Pe = 0.1 — the constraint pole, the completed specification, the Rubedo.
We found the morphological marker that announces you've entered it. The lk- prefix family — 97 word types, 402 tokens in the primary transliteration — concentrates in Stars_Text at 82.6%. Almost nothing of it appears anywhere else. And 0.5% in Astronomical is noise.
The most intriguing finding within the lk- family: how many e vowels follow the lk predicts how exclusively the word appears in Stars_Text. The pattern is directional — maximum elongation (lk+eee) achieves complete Stars_Text exclusivity.
lkeeey, lkeeedy, lkeeeed — every single occurrence of these highly elongated forms is in Stars_Text. None in Astronomical. None in Biological. None in Herbal. Vowel length may encode specification intensity or confidence — like writing "confirmed" vs "definitely confirmed" vs "definitively confirmed." The data is directional; the lk+eee token count (n=16) is too small for formal confirmation.
All sorted by Stars_Text frequency. Jaccard ZL↔Takahashi = 0.838.
To know if 82.6% is remarkable, you need to know what normal structured text achieves. We tested three control texts with natural section structure.
A structured three-canticle poem with genuine topical differentiation peaks at 38.4%. The Voynich lk- family at 82.6% is more than twice that. This pattern does not emerge from ordinary vocabulary drift between sections of a natural-language text.
