Empirical characterization of the lk- prefix family (97 word types, 402 tokens) in the Voynich manuscript. The lk- morpheme is concentrated in the StarsText section (82. 6% ZL, 83. 9% Takahashi) and is structurally absent from the Astronomical section (0. 5%). Chi-squared test confirms the concentration is non-random (χ²=540. 30, df=4, p=1. 29×10⁻¹¹⁵ vs baseline section distribution; StarsText enrichment 2. 74x). Cross-transcription Jaccard similarity ZL↔Takahashi=0. 8381. A directional pattern suggests that vowel elongation (lk+eee) correlates with higher StarsText exclusivity, with lk+eee subtype achieving 100% concentration (n=11 tokens). Findings are interpreted through the void framework's prediction that the V* constraint pole accumulates specification-complete notation.
