I also like the words of nablator: I have a nagging feeling that we are missing something very obvious and very artificial in the way Voynichese is constructed.
The most obvious thing of all is that when we look the script we don't see letters. Only two or three glyphs look like letters of the Roman Alphabet, but they only seem so. Everything we see are glyphs that we have to interpret trying to put us in the shoes of a man of the XV century.
The most difficult thing is not to intepret the glyphs but to understand the mentality of this man
