If we want to compare Korean script to Voynichese we have to take each glyph at face value. If we want to see whether the Korean language could underlie Voynichese, we must hypothesize that Voynichese is written alphabetically and hence find transliterated Hangul more suitable.
At the time the VM was written, Koreans still wrote in Chinese script though. Still it's interesting to see that Korean script produces such an outlier value. I still don't understand why
Yes, good point.
Korean's an unlikely candidate for a variety of reasons, and the number of characters in Voynichese suggest it's either alphabetic/abjad or supposed to look like it is, with each glyph encoding a phoneme (more or less).
