Even if one ignores the spelling and tries to ignore the lack of grammar, it's still not Latin.
Maybe someone who is strong in Latin can wrestle some meaning out of it by taking some liberties with the spelling and construction, but I can't.
Every word is correct Latin word (=acceptable by Whitaker's Words) with precision to declension, conjugation, etc. This is checked mechanically.
As for wrestling, I honestly tried to map Voynichese to clean polished Latin, but no, as stated hundreds of times it's impossible, at least verb endings do not allow that. It's simply wrong.
So willy-nilly some other approach should be considered. Latin words with restricted number of forms is an excellent compromise (at least English speakers don't suffer from small number of forms). Yes, yet another invented language that can magically explain everything causes nothing but vomiting, it's difficult to work with, it's difficult to prove, it's difficult to present, it's difficult to understand, it looks almost like alien theory. But in the end the main trait of theory is its correctness.
