Labels: What on earth is an "otaly"?

[Anton]

And finally, there is the in my opinion real possibility that Voynichese somewhat simplifies the spoken form of the language. This, again, increases the chances for homonymy. 

Just to say, based on these data I don't think we can conclude that "labels are not object identifications". Maybe some labels are not, but mere homonymy is not enough to deduce this.

The possibility cannot increase the chances. The latter can be increased only by some additional certainty introduced (which there is not).

Moreover, there's more than just this (pseudo)-homonymy. For example, if I remember correctly, Wladimir demonstrated that pharma plant labels do not occur in the respective plants' botanical folios. Which would require one to construct really superfluous explantions involving one language used for the pharma section with another language for the botanical section (both forgotten languages written in the same forgotten scripts). A much more straightforward hypothesis, which really does not need any superfluous explanations, is just that labels are not IDs.
