I have worked out rules that work for a great majority of the text, enough that I can tell if something is legal Voynichese, and enough to reproduce "legal" chunks of text but I have not fully worked out an order for the tokens. I have struggled with this for years, but I haven't gotten discouraged. I think it might be possible. What I can do is classify many of them into family groups.
I can get some good results on subsets of tokens or particular sections, but don't yet have something that explains it all. There are places here and there where a character inexplicably shows up in a place where it shouldn't. It doesn't happen often, but it happens often enough that I wonder if there's a dynamic that I haven't sorted out correctly. I don't want to write it off as scribal error. I'd rather search for the reason until I've exhausted all possibilities.
