Hebrew has a lot of root words (in which the only difference between related words is the vowels or one character), so in that respect it's tantalizing to think the repetitious character of the VMS might be an abjad based on a system of root words with the vowels omitted, but Hebrew is NOT rigidly positional like the VMS—the letters move around within words much more than in Voynichese. Maybe the VMS is some sort of abjad (perhaps a synthetic abjad), it's closer to Hebrew structure than many languages, but... when you look at glyph position, then the differences loom large (I'm sure you already know this, but I'm describing my thinking process at the time).

Hi JKP.
What is synthetic abjad?
