As [vi], it's the dative singular or ablative singular of [vis] ("strength"), or alternatively the Roman numeral 6 -- so by itself it would be a plausible Latin plaintext word, as far as that goes.

Thanks a lot, pfeaster!
I checked Olivetti online and just discovered that Olivetti Latin-French does not find "vi", unlike Latin-English, good to know.

Forgive me, farmerjohn, for not understanding your idea completely. According to you, oiin is ui, but I couldn't find a Latin word ui.
P.S. I use Komarov's Gaffiot dictionary or Gaffiot online which I have just discovered, gaffiot.fr
There is also word hui, but generally yes, words (not just endings) oin, oiin, oiiin are the main reason which made me look for another explanation

At the moment I explore the idea that oiin is vī and v and u are not distinguished. This would allow to match more words. In particular word oiin thus matches avī or ovī (I favor the idea that voynichese is sort of abjadic).

Do you mean "iin" is vi and "oiin" is ovi?
Why so complicated?
In Latin,
If "v = is" so could "iv" = sis", "iiv = tis" , "iiiv = ris", "iiiiv = vis".
Now it can:
asis, osis, usis, isis
atis, otis, utis
aris, oris uris .....
datis, totis, tatis, tutis.
Second variant endings, tis, ti, te to....sis si se so
This can only be solved in context.
The question is more in dialect d or t, "dotis or totis".
These are simple combinations with endings.

Now we just have to try to read some words.
Do you have any suggestions?
